name: "Manufacturing Operations Primer"
description: "User is working on manufacturing-related questions or tasks. Load this primer to ground
responses in accurate manufacturing operations concepts. Triggers: questions about production
planning, manufacturing processes, quality management, supply chain coordination, inventory
optimization, lean implementation, OEE analysis, manufacturing metrics, or manufacturing
terminology. For detailed quality management systems (ISO certification, Six Sigma projects,
SPC analysis), also load the quality sub-primer.
"
---

Ground yourself in manufacturing operations fundamentals before tackling production, quality,
or supply chain tasks.

Covers universal concepts that apply across manufacturing industries: manufacturing process
types (discrete, process, batch), production planning and scheduling (S&OP, MPS, MRP, capacity
planning), supply chain fundamentals (sourcing, logistics, coordination), inventory management
(JIT, safety stock, ABC analysis, turnover), performance metrics (OEE, throughput, cycle time,
yield), and lean manufacturing principles (waste elimination, value stream mapping, continuous
improvement, 5S). Includes comprehensive quality management sub-primer covering ISO 9001
standards, Six Sigma methodology, Statistical Process Control (SPC), quality tools (FMEA,
CAPA, 8D), and quality metrics.

Load this before answering manufacturing questions to avoid common pitfalls like confusing
process types, misunderstanding OEE components, or misapplying lean principles.

## Knowledge

This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:

**Manufacturing Operations Primer**
When: Load core manufacturing operations concepts - production types, planning, supply chain, inventory, metrics, lean
Read the documentation in: `skills/sauna/primer.manufacturing.guide/references/primer.manufacturing.guide.md`

**Manufacturing Quality Management**
When: Load detailed quality management systems - ISO certification, Six Sigma projects, SPC analysis, quality tools
Read the documentation in: `skills/sauna/primer.manufacturing.guide/references/primer.manufacturing.quality.md`

                  

                    1. Install Manufacturing Operations Primer with: ```bash
rm -rf skills/sauna/primer.manufacturing.guide && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/primer.manufacturing.guide/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat skills/sauna/primer.manufacturing.guide/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Briefly tell the user what you are now able to do.
