Chapter 2: Inventory 52 Inventory Wizards Millennium features three wizards that analyze your product inventory and suggest ways to maximize your investment and increase profits. Following are descriptions of these inventory wizards. Model Quantity Wizard Product inventory is one of the biggest assets at your retreat. Profits are lost when a retreat has either too much or too little of a particular product. If your retreat has too little of a product it will result in the loss of an opportunity to sell that product. Consequently, if your business has too much of a product it will result in the waste of capital as a result of a product simply sitting on the shelf. However, your retreat can maximize profits by properly maintaining accurate model quantities of inventory. The Model Quantity Wizard is used to determine the optimum stocking level for your products so that you can maximize profit and minimize the investment in your inventory. When you run the Model Quantity Wizard for a range of products, the current model quantity and the calculated model quantity display for each product. The calculated model quantity is the optimal model quantity that you should choose to maximize profits. You can select to use the suggested model quantity or define your own optimal model quantity for each product as necessary. Once you have calculated the model quantity, you can determine the correct amount of inventory to order on your next purchase order. This wizard is accessed by selecting Inventory Inventory Wizards Model Quantity Analysis Slow Moving Inventory Wizard Inventory that is not selling and sitting on your shelves, regardless of its profitability, takes up valuable space and creates unnecessary cost for your retreat. The Slow Moving Inventory Wizard analyzes your products and identifies the ones that are moving slowly, which allows you to prevent a costly surplus of unsold inventory. Using the Slow Moving Inventory Wizard, you can determine slow moving inventory using the following criteria. Turn rate during specified a date range Number of weeks without a sale Quantity sold during a specified date range Once you have determined the slow moving products in your inventory, you can select to lower the model quantity, lower the order point, or place the products on sale. This allows you to take the action required to clear your shelves of slow moving inventory and find space to stock more popular items.

Chapter 2: Inventory 53 Inventory Turns Wizard Another important metric to consider when managing the investment in your inventory is inventory turns. Inventory turns define how often you would like to replenish the products on the shelves and measure how hard your inventory investment is working. If you ordered once a month, your inventory turn rate would be 12 If you ordered once every 2 months, your inventory turn rate would be 6 The Inventory Turns Wizard will calculate your actual turn rates based on the average of past on hand counts, which are automatically recorded the beginning of every month. You can then specify a desired turn rate for each product and the wizard will calculate the optimal model quantity. There is no exact formula on what is the best turn rate (6 times, 8 times, 10 times per year). The higher the gross margin on products, the less important it is to obtain a high inventory turn rate. If a product has a low margin, you will want to turnover that product as often as possible and keep stock as low as possible, without running out of it. Purchasing in bulk requires a greater investment that can place a heavy burden on your retreat and can cause you to miss incentives offered by your distributor. Realizing your inventory s actual turn rates will allow you to make better buying decisions. The Inventory Turns Wizard will allow you to fine tune your model quantities, ultimately allowing you to do more with your investment!
