Turning Data into Actionable Business Impact

Perishable Inventory Optimization & Replenishment Analytics

Designed a service-level–based inventory control model to reduce stockouts and improve inventory efficiency.

Problem

A retail operation managing 20 SKUs used a uniform replenishment policy despite significant differences in demand variability. This resulted in frequent stockouts for high-demand SKUs and excess exposure for slow-moving items. The objective was to design a data-driven replenishment framework that balanced service levels with inventory risk.

Results

  • Reduced stockout days across high-variability SKUs
  • Improved alignment between SKU importance and service level

  • Demonstrated measurable trade-offs between availability and excess inventory

  • Built a scalable prescriptive analytics framework

Approach

Demand Analysis

  • Analyzed one year of daily SKU-level demand data

  • Calculated average demand and variability per SKU

  • Identified demand volatility patterns

ABC Classification

  • Segmented SKUs based on demand contribution

  • Assigned differentiated service levels (95%, 90%, 85%)

Reorder Point (ROP) Model Design

  • Modeled expected demand during lead time

  • Calculated safety stock using service-level-based z-values

  • Designed SKU-level reorder point policies

Simulation & Comparison

  • Simulated baseline replenishment performance

  • Simulated optimized service-level-based policy

  • Compared stockout frequency and inventory exposure

Institutional Data Strategy & BI Modernization

Designed a strategic data maturity and business intelligence roadmap to improve decision-making, governance, and performance visibility.

Conducted a comprehensive data strategy and business intelligence assessment for Humber College, identifying gaps in data governance, analytics maturity, and performance reporting.

The objective was to evaluate current data maturity and design a scalable BI transformation framework.

Business Impact 

  • Reduced ambiguity in institutional performance tracking

  • Established governance-first KPI architecture

  • Provided structured roadmap for BI maturity

  • Enabled transition from reactive reporting to strategic analytics
