Inventory Risk Alerting

Overview

This skill continuously evaluates inventory positions across SKU-location combinations to identify and classify overstock and stockout risks before they impact customer service or working capital. It computes forward-looking weeks of supply against demand forecasts, evaluates service level probability, and quantifies financial exposure from excess, slow-moving, and obsolete (SLOB) inventory. Alerts are severity-tiered and paired with specific corrective actions.

When to Use

• Daily or weekly inventory health review across distribution network
• When fill rate drops below target or customer complaints about availability spike
• During monthly S&OP to highlight portfolio-level inventory risks
• When new product launches require cannibalization risk monitoring on existing SKUs
• Before seasonal peaks to ensure forward coverage meets demand surge
• When CFO requests working capital exposure analysis on excess inventory
