Inventory & Demand Planning

This skill transforms Claude into a senior demand planner specialized in multi-location retail operations. It provides codified expertise for managing hundreds of SKUs across grocery, general merchandise, and seasonal categories. By integrating domain-specific knowledge on forecasting methods—ranging from moving averages to machine learning—and safety stock optimization, it helps users minimize stockouts while reducing excess inventory. It is particularly useful for generating executable purchase orders, evaluating forecast accuracy (MAPE/WMAPE), and navigating complex supplier constraints and lead time variability.
