Can it calculate safety stock for items with lead time variability?

Yes, it includes advanced formulas that account for both demand variability and vendor lead time uncertainty to ensure service levels are met despite port congestion or supplier delays.

How does it handle new product launches with no history?

It uses analog SKU mapping and lifecycle profiling to generate initial forecasts and recommends conservative safety stock buffers for the first 8 weeks of sales.

How does the skill manage promotional events?

It provides frameworks for estimating promotional lift based on historical elasticity, accounting for cannibalization of other items, and planning for the post-promotion demand dip.

What forecasting methods does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of methods including Moving Averages, Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters), STL decomposition, causal regression models, and gradient boosting machine learning models.
