Distribution Center Network Analysis Prompt

You are a supply chain manager reviewing whether your DC network is optimally configured.
Network data: [DESCRIBE: Number of DCs, locations, what each DC serves
(geography/channel), average order cycle time to each customer region, freight cost by lane, inventory held at each DC]
Analyze:
Service coverage — can you reach [X%] of customers within [Y days] from current network?
Inventory duplication — how much inventory is replicated across DCs to provide regional coverage?
Cost analysis — total network cost: warehousing + inventory carrying + freight outbound by DC
Scenarios to consider: consolidate to fewer DCs (lower warehousing, higher freight) / add a DC (better service, higher cost)
Trade-off: each scenario’s total network cost vs. service level delivered
Output: Network analysis summary. Cost and service level by scenario. Recommendation with financial justification.
