## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for construction logistics. It calculates optimized delivery timelines using `calculate_delivery_schedule` to ensure rebar arrives exactly when needed. Users can evaluate site storage efficiency with `analyze_storage_utilization`, monitor safety margins via `get_buffer_safety_status`, and determine ideal shipment weights using `optimize_batch_sizes`. It prevents site shortages and minimizes inventory overhead by balancing fabrication capacity, transport limits, and site storage constraints.

## Tools

### analyze_storage_utilization
Evaluates how much of the site's storage capacity is being used throughout the project

### get_buffer_safety_status
Determines if the current inventory levels are sufficient to prevent a work stoppage

### optimize_batch_sizes
Adjusts the weight of individual deliveries to better fit transport constraints or fabrication limits

### calculate_delivery_schedule
Generates a complete optimized timeline of when to order and when to receive rebar batches

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a delivery schedule for 500 tonnes of rebar with a site capacity of 100 tonnes, an installation rate of 10 tonnes per day, and a 3-day lead time.
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimized schedule requires 5 batches of 100 tonnes each, with deliveries occurring every 10 days to maintain the target buffer.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 25 tonnes of rebar on site, we use 5 tonnes per day, and my target buffer is 15 tonnes. Is my stock safe?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, your current inventory is safe. You have 5 days of stock remaining before you hit your target buffer.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best batch size for 1000 tonnes of rebar if my max truck capacity is 25 tonnes and factory capacity is 50 tonnes per day?
```

**Response:** 
```
The suggested batch weight is 25 tonnes, requiring a minimum of 40 batches.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool prevent site shortages?**
The `calculate_delivery_schedule` tool accounts for lead times and target buffer tonnages to ensure new batches arrive before current stock falls below safety levels.

**Can I adjust for specific truck capacities?**
Yes, use `optimize_batch_sizes` to find the best delivery weight that respects your `maxTransportCapacityPerBatch` and factory production limits.

**How do I check if my current stock is safe?**
You can use `get_buffer_safety_status` by providing your current inventory, installation rate, and target buffer tonnage.
