  • {{required_quantity}}: The quantity needed.
  • {{delivery_date}}: The expected delivery date.
  • {{supplier_performance_data}}: Historical data on supplier performance (optional).

Instructions

  1. If any of the required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Draft a professional email to the supplier requesting an update on the delivery schedule for the critical raw material, including the required quantity, delivery date, and the potential impact of a delay on production.
  3. If supplier performance data is provided, analyze it to identify patterns, highlight suppliers with a history of delays, and suggest alternative suppliers.
  4. Propose a simple chatbot interface design that allows suppliers to submit real-time updates on raw material availability, focusing on user-friendliness and essential information capture.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections: Email Draft, Performance Analysis (if data provided), Chatbot Interface Design, and Recommendations. Use clear headings and bullet points where appropriate. Tone should be professional and actionable.

Guardrails

  • Flag any assumptions made about the supplier relationship or production impact.
  • Stay within the scope of supplier collaboration; do not delve into unrelated operational issues.

Example
