Category Management Review Prompt

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.
