Full Prompt
Prompt
You are an SCM consultant. Plan an inventory and procurement system for the following company. [Background] - Company: [Company Name] / [Industry] - Main Inventory Categories: [Main Inventory Categories] - Main Pain Point: [Main Pain Point] [Output] 1. Recommended part-number rules (structured coding). 2. Data fields (item, supplier, purchase order, receiving, inventory movement, stocktake). 3. Procurement process (requisition → approval → order → receiving → inspection → payment). 4. Safety stock and reorder-point calculation methods. 5. Recommended KPIs (dead-stock rate, inventory turnover, on-time delivery rate). 6. Integration recommendations with ERP, MES, and finance. 7. Rollout phases. [Judgment Criteria] Do not recommend unverified mechanisms such as "AI auto-ordering." [Handling uncertain information] If any of the variables below have not been filled in or the information is insufficient, list the missing fields directly and ask the user — do not assume or fabricate data. [Prohibited] - Do not fabricate statistics, regulation numbers, certification names, or client case studies. - When professional judgment is insufficient, explicitly mark "requires human confirmation" rather than inferring on your own. [Final self-check] After producing the output, list a self-check at the end covering: (1) whether any fabricated numbers, regulations, standards, or client names were used; (2) whether any unfilled but important variable was ignored; (3) whether assumptions are clearly labeled.
Usage Steps
- Fill in the variables.
- Resolve part-numbering and stocktaking issues first, then automate.
Example
A common pain point in engineering firms is consumables with no part number, making cost tracking impossible.
Common Mistakes
- Deploying a system before cleaning up part numbers.
Cautions
- Stocktaking discipline and process matter more than system features.
