19 LS Retail Brief introduction

20 Retail Inventory, A New Perspective: Avoid looking at inventory from the wrong perspective and learn that the wrong perspective may be a recipe for bankruptcy Solving the Inventory Productivity Puzzle Easy methods for reporting and analyzing inventory 5 Steps to improving inventory productivity

21 Inventory Retailers largest asset Technically should be a short term asset, but for many it makes it into the fixed asset category Stock Turnover and GMROII are key measures of inventory productivity Most retailers have had very small increases in past 25 years in either measure

22 A New Way To Think About Inventory Ultimately the goal of every retailer is to never own inventory ALL INVENTORY IS EVIL and should only be tolerated for a very short time Perfection is sell and buy Businesses that own inventory are called museums

23 Four Measures That Are Used Stock Turnover in Units (units sold average unit inventory) Retail Stock Turnover (net sales average inventory at retail value) Cost Stock Turnover (cost of sales average inventory at cost) Asset Turnover (net sales average inventory at cost) Note: All are generally reported for a 12 month period unless specifically qualified as a shorter time frame

24 Of The Four The traditional formula for retailers is Sales divided by average inventory at retail value The other three are either operational (units) or financial and although used at certain times they are not the benchmark formula for retail inventory turnover

25 Factors That Affect Inventory Turnover SKU Intensity Re-Order Cycle Time Nature Of The Product Safety Stocks and over buying

26 Safety Stocks and Over Buying Just in Case merchandising is far too prevalent An accurate sales forecast with a well thought out stock to sales ratio is key Inventory has to relate to the sales plan, there must be a plan to buy as well as a plan to sell Ultimately safety stocks decrease Customer service by clogging up the system, too much of what does not sell, not enough of what does

27 Inventory Productivity Ultimately the shorter distance between raw material and consumption the greater the productivity Raw Material Inventoryismerelythe physical correlate of deficientinformation Evans & Winster, Blown to Bits Consumption Time Purchase Potential for Waste Sale

28 Inventory Productivity For retail this means the shortest time possible between purchase and sale This also reduces the risk of inventory becoming obsolete or customers changing their buying habits or tastes Raw Material Consumption Time Purchase Sale Potential for Waste

29 Some Additional Inventory Metrics Stock To Sales Ratio Check Out Rate Weeks Cover Percent Fresh Best Sellers Slow Sellers Non Moving

30 5 Suggestions For Keeping Inventory In Line 1. Have an accurate sales forecast/plan 2. Determine proper stock to sales ratio (always plan a decrease in SSR each month) 3. Measure percent fresh each month 4. Prepare aged inventory list and aggressively use markdowns 5. Never allow purchasing above plan spend 85% of OTB

31 Strategies For Effective Markdowns Markdowns are tuition that we pay for an education about our Customer NEVER take a markdown unless you know the reason Your first markdown is the cheapest Key indicators are current weekly rate of sale divided into on hand 1 to 8 weeks, no action likely 9 to 12 weeks, 10 20% 13 to 16 weeks, 30% 17 to 26 weeks, 50% Over 26 weeks, +60% Over 52 weeks, consider donating!

32 Productivity Dashboard Numbers to Watch Every Month TY vs LY Summary All Stores November 2004 TY LY Stock to sales ratio Turn to date GMROII to date $2.01 $1.97 Percent fresh 65% 70% Weeks cover Potential Problems!

33 What Is Needed Real time visibility of the complete supply chain Visibility as far down and up the chain as possible This means supplier inventory/wip, in transit, OH and demand/sales State of the art technology and deep understanding of its use LS RETAIL provides the perfect solution!
