Supply Chain Use Case: Run Down Opportunity
Use Case Objective:
Identify items that have been discontinued by Category or Vendor to monitor run down on discontinued items.
Use Case Benefits: Help provide insights to Store and DC level inventory for deleted items to monitor the percent of inventory at risk.
Process/Analytical Steps:
Metrics to Review:
1. Working with Vendor or Category partners to identify discontinued items through cycle resets or as needed. 2. Ensure flags are changed to mark items as discontinued in Biceps/Sega to prevent additional orders being created after the cutoff date. 3. Leverage IRI reports to monitor DC inventory and Store on-hand inventory with % of inventory at risk of not selling through (based on 10-week average movement) at Retail. This will give the vendor's visibility on the inventory at Stores and possibly connect with their Category business partners to create additional plans to move through the product.
