The Supply Chain Analyst-Supply Chain Data Analysis

Example

By uploading a dataset with columns for SKU, FAMILY, DAY, QTY, and TO, The Supply Chain Analyst performs an ABC analysis to segment products into three categories based on the selected metric (QTY or TO).

Scenario

A retail business wants to understand which products contribute most to its turnover to optimize stock levels and focus on high-priority items. The analysis identifies top-performing SKUs, allowing for focused inventory management and strategic purchasing decisions.

Example

The Supply Chain Analyst offers visualization tools like Pareto Charts and ABC scatter plots, which graphically represent the analysis results for better understanding and decision-making.

Scenario

A company wishes to visually assess which SKUs are driving the majority of its sales or turnover. Using the Pareto Chart, it can quickly identify the 20% of items that contribute to 80% of sales, focusing efforts on these key products.

Example

After performing ABC analysis, The Supply Chain Analyst provides detailed reports and insights, highlighting key findings and suggesting actionable strategies.

Scenario

A business struggling with overstocking and high carrying costs uses The Supply Chain Analyst to pinpoint underperforming 'C' category items. This insight enables them to adjust procurement strategies, reducing excess inventory and storage costs.
