This Tableau Accelerator allows you to optimize the Stock Coverage of the items you hold in your inventory (based on recommendations suggested by an ABC-XYZ analysis).

The ABC-XYZ analysis classifies your products and then recommends how to handle:

* **Degree of automation replenishment processes**
* **Buffer Stock**
* **Inventory Control**

Products are classified by:

* **Consumption Volume**
 * A: High consumption volume
 * B: Medium consumption volume
 * C: Low consumption volume
* **Consumption Volume Volatility:** *if past consumption is stable (= not volatile), we can make a reliable estimate of future demand*
 * X: Stable consumption / Linear demand
 * Y: Volatile consumption / Variable demand
 * Z: Very Volatile consumption / Unpredictable demand

Each combination (AX, BX, CY..) implies a suggested way to manage inventory:

* **Identify products at risk (rupture and overstock)**
* **Define the right stock / security stock coverage**
* **Optimize production/purchasing volumes**

### Answer key business questions

* How are my products classified according to ABC/XYZ approach?
* What are the best inventory actions for my products?
* Which buffer stock to hedge against customer-induced variations?
* How many products do I have with a reliable forecast?
* Which products do I have with a high consumption value?

### Required attributes

* **Date** (date): Date
* **Product** (string): Inventory item
* **Volume** (numeric): Sales / Demand / Consumption Volume (amount)
