How to Use This Guide

Copy any prompt directly into an AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc)
Replace the text in [brackets] with your specifics.

AI is only as useful as the information you give it. Every prompt works better with more context (allocation status, launch dates, current freight rates, etc.)

MRO & Spare Parts Management

Critical Spare Parts Risk Matrix

[I manage MRO logistics for an offshore oil platform / wind farm / power generation facility with 24/7 uptime requirements.]

Build a spare parts criticality framework I can use to classify our entire parts catalog. Include: scoring criteria across criticality-to-operations, lead time risk, supplier concentration, and replaceability.

Give me a 4-tier classification model (Critical / High / Medium / Standard) with stocking strategy recommendations for each tier, and the top 5 data inputs I need from maintenance to make this work.

Vendor-Managed Inventory Business Case

I’m evaluating a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) program for our MRO supply chain at a [facility type]. Currently we carry approximately $[X]M in MRO inventory with a [X%] stockout rate on critical parts and $[X] in emergency freight spend annually.

Build the business case structure for a VMI program: what cost categories should improve and by how much (industry benchmarks), what vendor capabilities to require, what KPIs to hold the VMI provider to, and what risks I need to mitigate contractually before signing.

Note: Energy sector VMI programs routinely cut emergency freight spend by 30–50%—worth the analysis.

Emergency Parts Sourcing Protocol

A critical component just failed at our [facility] and we need a replacement part within [X hours / days] to avoid a production shutdown costing $[X/hour].

Build an emergency sourcing decision tree I can follow under time pressure: authorized distributor network check, OEM direct escalation path, broker sourcing with counterfeit risk mitigation criteria, cross-fleet cannibalization evaluation, and the documentation I need to maintain for audit purposes. Include a script for the initial vendor call to get the fastest response.

Inventory Optimization by ABC/XYZ

I have [X,000] active MRO part numbers. Help me design an ABC/XYZ inventory classification system combining: value (ABC) and demand variability (XYZ).

Give me the classification matrix, recommended stocking policy for each of the 9 combinations, and the data fields I need to pull from our ERP to run the analysis.

3PL Evaluation for Energy MRO

I’m evaluating 3PL partners to manage MRO warehousing and distribution for our energy assets in [region].

Give me the 12 most important evaluation criteria specific to energy sector MRO logistics, weighted by importance, with suggested RFP questions for each. Flag the capability gaps that most general 3PLs miss for energy clients.

Project Cargo & Heavy Lift

Renewable Energy Component Logistics Plan

[I’m the logistics manager for a utility-scale solar / wind project. We need to move [X] wind turbine towers / nacelles / blades OR [X] MW of solar panels from [manufacturer country] to [project site].]

Build a project logistics framework covering: port-to-site route survey requirements, specialized transport requirements and permit processes, sequenced delivery scheduling to match installation pace, risk mitigation for oversized/overweight permits, and contingency planning for weather or access delays.

Include a vendor qualification checklist for the heavy transport and rigging subcontractors I’ll need.

Note: Add your project site address and port of entry for route-specific considerations.

Remote Site Logistics Build Out

I’m setting up logistics for a new energy project in [country/region]: [describe infrastructure — road quality, nearest port, proximity to rail, customs complexity].

We need to mobilize [equipment/materials list] and establish ongoing MRO supply chains for a [X-year] project duration.

Outline a phased logistics build-out: mobilization phase, construction phase, and steady-state operations. For each phase, identify: key logistics risks, recommended partner types, customs/import strategy, and the infrastructure investments that typically pay back fastest in remote energy logistics.

Note: Works for upstream O&G, mining, renewables construction, and utility infrastructure projects.

Hazmat & Regulatory Compliance

Hazmat & Regulatory Compliance

Dangerous Goods Compliance Brief

I need to ship [commodity: e.g., lithium batteries for drilling equipment / hydrochloric acid / compressed gas cylinders / radioactive well logging tools] from [origin] to [destination] via [air / ocean / truck / multimodal].

Summarize: applicable IATA / IMDG / DOT regulations, UN number and proper shipping name, packaging requirements, documentation checklist, training requirements for staff handling this shipment, and the top 3 compliance errors for this commodity that result in regulatory action or shipment rejection.

Dual-Use Export Controls Assessment

I need to export [equipment/technology/software] used in [energy application] to [destination country]. I’m concerned about dual-use export control requirements.

Walk me through: EAR/ITAR classification considerations for energy equipment, license requirements by destination, end-user certificate requirements, red flag indicators I should screen for, and the internal compliance program elements I need before we start exporting regularly to [region].

Cost & Carrier Management

I manage freight spend of approximately $[X]M annually for an energy company. Spend is split across [air freight for critical parts / ocean for major equipment / trucking for domestic / helicopter / vessel charter].

Build a freight spend analytics framework: how to segment and benchmark spend by mode and lane, what KPIs to track monthly, how to identify the highest-leverage cost reduction opportunities in energy logistics (vs. general industrial), and a 90-day quick-win roadmap I can present to my CFO.

Our emergency and expedited freight spend is running at $[X] annually—approximately [X%] of total freight spend. Leadership wants a [X%] reduction without increasing downtime risk.

Build a reduction plan that distinguishes between: true operational emergencies (unavoidable) vs. planning failures (preventable). Include: root cause analysis framework, leading indicators that predict emergency freight events, system/process interventions that reduce frequency, and how to build the business case for the investment required to eliminate the root causes.

Note: In energy, emergency freight is often a symptom of inventory and maintenance planning problems — not a logistics problem.
