Exception Management Philosophy
● Forecast Replenishment Analysts average 2300 SKUs per Analyst
● We can’t afford to review 2300 forecasts every week, so we manage “by exception”
● Bucket Forecasts into Review pools based on sets of Criteria:○ Steep Positive / Negative Trend (filter out new items)○ New Items○ 3 Weeks No Sales○ 3 Weeks Base Forecast > History
● This makes us: More Efficient + Consistent Task Work = Higher Productivity

Exception Management
Case Study: An Analyst managing 2300 SKUs was reviewing 800 Forecasts per Week.
Task: Reduce # of Forecasts reviewed per week to increase productivity
Action: 250 Duplicate items found in multiple exceptions, Refined Filtering on current exceptions, elimination of exceptions where critical items could be contained in others.
Results: Went from 800 forecasts to 400, more refined, consistent forecast trends contained within each exception
