The main challenge for Functional Managers is to align the Sales with Operations to one number. In addition, outsourcing of services, materials and manufacturing has also grown dramatically increasing the supply-chain lead times thus impacting inventory levels. The risk of write-offs and markdowns due to excess and obsolete inventory is also high due to dynamic nature of the retail industry making forecasting difficult for them. Poor forecast accuracy often leads to low order-fill rates, which affects customer service-level and result in lost sales. To handle these scenarios effectively, they often require insightful analysis into their data, which throws light on potential opportunities, scope for increasing business efficiencies and key failures across their supply chain.
