What forecasting methods does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of methods including Moving Averages, Exponential Smoothing (SES, Holt-Winters), STL Decomposition, Causal Regression, and Machine Learning models like XGBoost/LightGBM.

How does it prioritize inventory across hundreds of SKUs?

It uses an ABC/XYZ strategy matrix that categorizes products by revenue/profit contribution and predictability, allowing for automated replenishment for stable items and manual review for high-value volatile items.

How does it handle safety stock calculation?

The skill provides advanced formulas that account for both demand volatility and lead time variability, allowing you to set specific service level targets based on SKU importance (ABC/XYZ classes).

Does it help with seasonal products?

Absolutely. It includes specific protocols for seasonal buy timing, markdown scheduling based on sell-through rates, and end-of-season clearance management.

Can it assist with promotional planning?

Yes, it includes frameworks for estimating promotional lift, accounting for cannibalization of similar products, and predicting post-promotion demand dips to prevent overstocking.
