Architecture Paradigm: Multi-Level Recipe BOM Explosion with Prep Scrap Multipliers + First-Expired-First-Out (FEFO) Batch Lifecycle + S-Shape 2-Opt Traveling Salesperson Warehouse Pick Routing.


💥 The Real-World Bottleneck

In Food & Beverage (F&B), retail manufacturing, and warehouse logistics, disconnected inventory systems trigger severe operational failures:

  1. Mid-Shift Ingredient Stockouts: A restaurant chain sells 500 bowls of Pho or 1,200 cups of Milk Tea during a lunch rush. Because the POS only registers finished goods, the kitchen runs out of broth bones, boba tapioca, or condensed milk mid-service, canceling orders and alienating customers.
  2. Perishable Spoilage via Naive FIFO: Warehouses using standard First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or unorganized shelving consistently ship newer batches while older perishable goods spoil at the back of the cold room. Food waste and expired shrinkage consume 4% to 8% of gross margin.
  3. Warehouse Picker Walking Exhaustion: In large distribution hubs, pickers without algorithmic route guidance walk an average of 14.5 kilometers per 8-hour shift, zig-zagging back and forth across aisles. S-Shape heuristic routing with 2-Opt Traveling Salesperson (TSP) local optimization slashes walking distance by over 48%.

Core APIs

1. Recipe BOM & Conversion (recipe-bom.ts)

  • explodeBOM(recipe, quantity, options?): Recursively expands required raw ingredients, applying preparation scrap multipliers (e.g. wasteMultiplier: 1.05 for 5% prep waste).
  • explodeBatch(orders, catalog): Aggregates total raw material requirements across hundreds of distinct menu items in a single pass.
  • convertUnit(amount, fromUnit, toUnit): Validates and converts mass (kg, g) and volume (l, ml) with decimal safety.

2. FEFO Batch Expiry & Shrinkage (inventory-alert/)

  • BatchManager: Sorts inventory batches strictly by expiration date (expiryDate ASC), allocating oldest safe inventory first.
  • evaluateBatchExpiry(batch, asOfDate?): Classifies batch status: 'FRESH', 'EXPIRING_SOON' (within category threshold e.g. 3 days for dairy), or 'EXPIRED'.
  • evaluateStockLevel(item): Computes reorder point warnings based on lead-time demand and safety stock buffer.

3. WMS Barcode & S-Shape 2-Opt Routing (wms-barcode/)

  • parseGS1128(rawBarcode): Extracts Application Identifiers: AI(01) GTIN, AI(10) Batch/Lot, AI(17) Expiry Date, and AI(21) Serial Number.
  • optimizeSshape2OptRoute(pickBins, warehouseLayout): Orders pick bins using the standard warehouse S-Shape traversal combined with 2-Opt Traveling Salesperson edge swapping.

💻 Production Implementation & Code Snippet

The following complete workflow demonstrates exploding a batch of production orders into raw materials, allocating inventory batches via FEFO, and optimizing warehouse pick routes:

import {
  RecipeCatalog,
  DEFAULT_FNB_RECIPES,
  BatchManager,
  optimizeSshape2OptRoute,
  calculateWarehouseWalkingDistance,
  parseGS1128,
  type Recipe,
  type BatchItem,
} from '@kido/bom-inventory';

// 1. Initialize Recipe Catalog with F&B Recipes
const catalog = new RecipeCatalog(DEFAULT_FNB_RECIPES);

// 2. Explode Raw Ingredient Requirements for 40 Large Pepperoni Pizzas
const pizzaRecipe = catalog.getRecipe('PIZZA_PEPPERONI_L')!;
const exploded = catalog.explodeRecipe('PIZZA_PEPPERONI_L', 40, {
  wasteMultiplier: 1.05, // 5% kitchen preparation waste factor
});

console.log(`Exploded BOM for 40x ${pizzaRecipe.name}:`);
exploded.ingredients.forEach((ing) => {
  console.log(`- ${ing.ingredientName}: ${ing.requiredQuantity} ${ing.unit} (Cost: ${ing.costVnd.toLocaleString()}₫)`);
});

// 3. FEFO Batch Allocation for Mozzarella Cheese (Requires 8,400g)
const cheeseBatches: BatchItem[] = [
  {
    id: 'batch-c2',
    sku: 'RAW-MOZZARELLA',
    quantity: 5000,
    unit: 'g',
    receivedDate: new Date('2026-11-10'),
    expiryDate: new Date('2026-11-28'), // Expires later
    locationBin: 'A-02-03',
  },
  {
    id: 'batch-c1',
    sku: 'RAW-MOZZARELLA',
    quantity: 4000,
    unit: 'g',
    receivedDate: new Date('2026-11-05'),
    expiryDate: new Date('2026-11-22'), // Expires SOONEST -> FEFO Priority #1
    locationBin: 'A-01-01',
  },
];

const batchManager = new BatchManager();
const allocation = batchManager.allocateFefo(cheeseBatches, 8400);

console.log('FEFO Allocation Result:');
allocation.allocatedBatches.forEach((b) => {
  console.log(`- Pull ${b.allocatedQuantity}g from Bin ${b.locationBin} (Batch: ${b.batchId}, Expires: ${b.expiryDate.toISOString().split('T')[0]})`);
});

// 4. Warehouse Pick Path Optimization (S-Shape + 2-Opt Heuristic)
const pickLocations = [
  { binCode: 'A-01-02', aisle: 1, section: 1, level: 2, x: 2, y: 5 },
  { binCode: 'B-04-01', aisle: 2, section: 4, level: 1, x: 6, y: 20 },
  { binCode: 'A-03-01', aisle: 1, section: 3, level: 1, x: 2, y: 15 },
  { binCode: 'B-01-03', aisle: 2, section: 1, level: 3, x: 6, y: 5 },
];

const unoptimizedDistance = calculateWarehouseWalkingDistance(pickLocations);
const optimizedPickSequence = optimizeSshape2OptRoute(pickLocations);
const optimizedDistance = calculateWarehouseWalkingDistance(optimizedPickSequence);

console.log('Pick Path Optimization:', {
  initialDistanceMeters: `${unoptimizedDistance}m`,
  optimizedDistanceMeters: `${optimizedDistance}m`,
  distanceSavedPercent: `${Math.round(((unoptimizedDistance - optimizedDistance) / unoptimizedDistance) * 100)}%`,
  pickSequence: optimizedPickSequence.map(p => p.binCode),
});

// 5. GS1-128 Barcode Verification during Picking
const rawBarcode = '(01)08935001234567(10)LOT2026A(17)261122(21)SN998822';
const parsedGS1 = parseGS1128(rawBarcode);
console.log('Scanned GS1 Barcode:', {
  gtin: parsedGS1.gtin,       // 08935001234567
  batch: parsedGS1.batchLot,  // LOT2026A
  expiry: parsedGS1.expiryDate,// 2026-11-22
  serial: parsedGS1.serialNumber, // SN998822
});
