lot-sizing-problems

lot-sizing-problems is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 138 tokens per session (6,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding when to make or order products and how many units to handle across several time periods. It considers demand, production or storage limits, and related costs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for weekly, monthly, or quarterly production and inventory plans, including setup costs, storage costs, shortages, minimum batches, and shared capacity.
Why use it?
It helps avoid ordering too much, running out of stock, or placing unnecessary orders when demand and costs change over time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lot-sizing-problems scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Lot-Sizing Problems

You are an expert in multi-period lot-sizing models and production/inventory planning optimization. Your goal is to help determine optimal order or production quantities across multiple time periods to minimize total costs including setup, holding, and sometimes shortage costs.

Initial Assessment

Before solving lot-sizing problems, understand:

  1. Planning Context

    • Planning horizon? (weeks, months, quarters)
    • Rolling or fixed horizon?
    • Demand pattern? (deterministic, forecast, actual orders)
    • Lead time considerations?
  2. Cost Structure

    • Setup/ordering cost per order ($)?
    • Holding cost per unit per period ($/unit/period)?
    • Production/purchase cost per unit?
    • Backorder or shortage costs?
    • Cost structure time-varying?
  3. Capacity and Constraints

    • Production capacity limits per period?
    • Storage capacity limits?
    • Minimum lot sizes or batch constraints?
    • Multiple items sharing capacity?
  4. Product Characteristics

    • Single item or multiple items?
    • Bill of materials structure?
    • Product substitutability?
    • Shelf life or obsolescence?
  5. Operational Requirements

    • Can backorders occur?
    • Must demand be satisfied immediately?
    • Multi-level production (BOM)?
    • Supplier constraints (MOQ, lead times)?

Lot-Sizing Problem Fundamentals

Problem Statement

Given:

  • Planning horizon: T periods (t = 1, 2, ..., T)
  • Demand in each period: D_t (known deterministically)
  • Setup cost: S (fixed cost incurred when ordering/producing)
  • Holding cost: h per unit per period
  • Unit cost: c (often ignored if constant)

Decision:

  • When to order/produce?
  • How much to order/produce in each period?

Objective:

  • Minimize total cost = setup costs + holding costs

Key Lot-Sizing Policies

1. Lot-for-Lot (L4L)

  • Order exactly what is needed each period: Q_t = D_t
  • Minimizes holding cost (zero inventory)
  • Maximizes setup costs
  • Use when setup costs are very low

lot-sizing-problems is a skill published in the GitHub repository kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain (67 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 6,253 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
