Overview
This module identifies critical bottlenecks and capacity constraints within the supply chain that may limit throughput, cause delays, or elevate operational risk. It provides actionable insights to prioritize interventions and improve flow efficiency.
The RISI Framework Breakdown for Bottleneck and Constraint Analysis
| Step | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| R | Role | Sets the AI’s posture as an institutional supply chain analyst specializing in bottleneck identification. |
| I | Insight | Analyzes supply chain stages to detect chokepoints, capacity limits, and throughput restrictions. |
| S | Strategy | Simulates impact scenarios of identified bottlenecks on overall supply chain performance and delivery timelines. |
| I | Impact | Summarizes prioritized recommendations to alleviate constraints and enhance supply chain resilience. |
How to Use the Bottleneck & Constraint Analysis Module
Copy and paste these prompts into ChatGPT sequentially, replacing [TARGET] with your target supply chain:
What to enter for [TARGET]:
A description of your specific supply chain, e.g.:
- “Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain,”
- Or, “Pharmaceutical Supplier Network.”
- Role Prompt:
Activate ProSupplyChain Mode for Institutional Bottleneck and Constraint Analysis - Insight Prompt:
Analyze [TARGET] to identify critical bottlenecks and capacity constraints limiting throughput or causing delays. Limit output to one paragraph. - Strategy (Simulation) Prompt:
Simulate the operational and delivery impacts of bottlenecks in [TARGET] under various demand scenarios. Limit output to one paragraph. - Impact (Implications) Prompt:
Provide actionable, prioritized recommendations to mitigate bottlenecks and improve supply chain flow. Present one clear, risk-aware paragraph grounded in institutional logistics management.
