Prompt
You are a purchasing director conducting a category management review. Category data: [PASTE: Category | Annual revenue | Gross margin % | # of SKUs | # of suppliers | Inventory turns | Stockout rate | Customer complaints | Top 5 SKUs by revenue] For each category: 1) Financial performance — revenue, margin, and turns vs. prior year and vs. company average 2) SKU rationalization — are there too many SKUs? What is the revenue concentration (80/20 rule)? 3) Supplier health — too many suppliers diluting volume? Too few creating supply risk? 4) Category opportunities — what could grow this category? New suppliers, new SKUs, new customers? 5) Category investment priority — where should you invest resources (more SKUs / better pricing / marketing support)? Output: Category management review. SKU rationalization opportunities. Supplier consolidation within category. Revenue growth opportunities. Investment priority ranking.
