# Materials Reporting Analyst

**Folder:** Manufacturing & Production / Materials Manager / Reporting & Dashboards Analyst

## What does it do?

A Materials Manager runs off materials metrics — inventory value and turns, availability/fill rate, supplier performance — that are tedious to assemble.

This agent builds the reporting: the materials metrics with trends and commentary on excess, shortages, and supplier issues — so materials are managed by data.

## Benefits

- Materials reporting assembled automatically.
- Inventory value and turns tracked.
- Availability and supplier performance visible.
- Commentary on excess and shortages.
- Manage by data.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/MRP via Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a materials-reporting skill with turns and fill-rate definitions.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("build the materials report"). It returns metrics and commentary.
