Inventory Turnover Improvement Plan Prompt
Prompt
You are an inventory director building a plan to improve inventory turns. Current state: [PASTE: Category | Current inventory value | Annual COGS | Current turns | Target turns | Gap | Key SKUs driving low turns] Build the improvement plan: 1) Quick wins — SKUs where excess inventory can be reduced immediately (cancel open POs / return to supplier / markdown) 2) Reorder point optimization — reducing reorder points on low-variability items reduces average inventory without service risk 3) Lot size reduction — reducing order quantities increases turns but may increase order frequency cost; calculate the trade-off 4) Lead time reduction — shorter supplier lead times allow lower safety stock and reorder points 5) Forecast improvement — better forecasts reduce safety stock requirements For each initiative: estimated inventory reduction ($) and turns improvement. Output: Inventory turns improvement plan. Initiative list with impact and effort. Projected turns by category if all initiatives executed. Timeline.
