Build a Supply Chain Disruption Planning Agent
Build an agent that combines shipment disruptions, inventory demand, and carrier options into a recovery plan. Compare feasible routes, explain cost and delivery tradeoffs, and request planner approval before dispatch.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
A logistics planner responding to delayed shipments and inventory shortages.
Build an agent that combines shipment disruptions, inventory demand, and carrier options into a recovery plan. Compare feasible routes, explain cost and delivery tradeoffs, and request planner approval before dispatch.
Shipment and disruption records
Inventory requirements
Carrier routes, capacity, and prices
Identify affected orders and inventory deadlines.
Retrieve alternative routes and capacities.
Calculate feasible plans against delivery and budget limits.
Present a ranked proposal and record planner approval in the mock system.
A shipment planning board with route comparisons, inventory impact, estimated costs, and a reviewable dispatch proposal.
Recommend R1, explain why R2 and R3 fail the supplied limits, and keep dispatch pending planner approval.
A working local application with the specified review interface.
Source code, dependency lockfile, and setup commands.
A recorded end-to-end demo using the supplied starter data.
Example outputs, action logs, and automated tests.
These fictional records are a small development fixture, not a production dataset. Implement the mock services described in the brief.
```json { "shipment": { "id": "S1", "units": 10, "deadline_hours": 24, "budget": 100 }, "disruption": "Original port is closed.", "alternatives": [ { "id": "R1", "hours": 20, "capacity": 10, "cost": 80 }, { "id": "R2", "hours": 12, "capacity": 10, "cost": 120 }, { "id": "R3", "hours": 30, "capacity": 10, "cost": 60 } ] } ```
Use synthetic inventory and carrier responses. Do not reroute real freight or place purchase orders. Choose an available model that supports your implementation. Record its identifier and version.
Review the complete application, not only the starter-case answers.
R1 meets the capacity, deadline, and budget requirements.
Rejected routes have specific reasons.
No dispatch occurs without approval. Add one normal case, one incomplete-input case, and one failure-recovery case.
Participation guide
Use synthetic inventory and carrier responses. Do not reroute real freight or place purchase orders.
How work is evaluated
Review workflow completion, interface usability, evidence quality, and safe failure handling. No agent execution has been verified.
