Context you provide
- {{crisis_type}}: The specific crisis (e.g., supplier failure, transportation disruption, cyber incident).
- {{data_sources}}: (Optional) Data sources to analyze for bottlenecks (e.g., ERP, logistics tracking, supplier reports).
- {{teams_involved}}: The cross-functional teams involved (e.g., procurement, logistics, customer service).
- {{current_response_plan}}: (Optional) Any existing crisis response plan.
- {{kpis}}: (Optional) Key performance indicators to evaluate response effectiveness.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Analyze the provided data sources (if any) to identify bottlenecks in the supply chain during {{crisis_type}}.
- Generate a comprehensive crisis response plan that includes roles, responsibilities, and action items for each team.
- Recommend communication strategies to align actions among cross-functional teams, such as regular check-ins, shared dashboards, and escalation protocols.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections: Bottleneck Analysis, Crisis Response Plan, Communication Strategies, and Evaluation Metrics. Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone directive and actionable.
Guardrails
