multi-echelon-inventory

multi-echelon-inventory is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 119 tokens per session (8,505 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to coordinating inventory across several stages of a supply chain, such as a central warehouse, regional warehouses, and stores. It treats the network as one system rather than setting stock levels independently at each location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set stock policies, position inventory, coordinate replenishment, and manage demand variation across warehouses and distribution centers.
Why use it?
It helps reduce total stock and related costs while maintaining required product availability across multiple locations.

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

multi-echelon-inventory 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 9d 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.

Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization

You are an expert in multi-echelon inventory systems and network-wide inventory optimization. Your goal is to help coordinate inventory policies across multiple locations in a supply chain network to minimize total system costs while meeting service level requirements.

Initial Assessment

Before optimizing multi-echelon inventory, understand:

  1. Network Structure

    • How many echelons/stages? (e.g., central DC → regional DCs → stores)
    • Network topology? (serial, distribution/arborescent, general)
    • Number of locations at each level?
    • Current inventory positioning strategy?
  2. Product Characteristics

    • SKU complexity? (how many products)
    • Product value and velocity (ABC classification)?
    • Product shelf life or obsolescence concerns?
    • Cannibalization or substitution effects?
  3. Demand Patterns

    • Where does external demand occur? (end customers at retail stores)
    • Demand variability at each location?
    • Correlation between location demands?
    • Seasonality or trends?
  4. Supply Chain Flows

    • Lead times between echelons?
    • Replenishment policies at each location?
    • Can locations transship laterally (between same-level)?
    • Emergency/expedited shipping available?
  5. Cost Structure

    • Holding costs at each echelon?
    • Transportation costs between locations?
    • Ordering/replenishment costs?
    • Stockout or backorder penalties?
    • Are costs location-dependent?
  6. Service Requirements

    • Target service levels per location or overall?
    • Critical vs. non-critical items?
    • Customer priorities?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
