The Challenge: High stock-out rates were impacting overall profitability, and leadership lacked a centralized, quick-reference tool for their critical daily alignment meetings. Stakeholders needed immediate visibility into high-weight, priority SKUs to prevent shortages, but data regarding sales, forecasts, and inventory was scattered and difficult to analyze on the fly. The Solution: I designed and engineered a specialized, highly functional Excel dashboard tailored specifically for daily S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) tracking. By consolidating complex data streams, this tool provides an instant executive snapshot of: Historical and current sales performance (3-month rolling view). Forecast accuracy and compliance metrics. Real-time inventory status and stock-out alerts.
I implemented automated visual cues (conditional formatting/traffic light system) across different distribution centers, allowing leadership to instantly identify at-risk SKUs and take immediate corrective action during daily stand-ups. The Impact: 89% Stock-out Reduction: Served as the core analytical tool that empowered the team to drive stock-outs down from 42% to an unprecedented 4.67%.
