Determining Product Demand

Operations Manager

Scenario Walkthrough

Contoso Manufacturing faces an issue with visibility between their factory and retail locations. When Contoso ships from its large regional distribution centers (DCs) to retail customers like Northwind Retail, there is an inventory “blind spot” for Contoso between DCs and Northwind checkout lines. If Northwind moves inventory between stores to balance supply for regional or promotional variances, Contoso can’t see product inventory and loses the ability to see what the true demand signal is for goods. Here is how Contoso team members work together to identify one such inventory blind spot using Microsoft T eams.

  • Receives a notification when a Sales Rep @mentions him in a channel post
  • Presents assessment reports for the inventory blind spot ahead of weekly sync meeting
  • Uses Power BI to highlight and illustrate Point of Sale data during the meeting
  • Participates in weekly sync meeting to discuss demand analysis based on a recent order
  • Shares final consensus with team members through channel conversation

How did T eams help the Operations Manager execute his roles and responsibilities?

  • Leverage data and visualize analytics with the robust analytics tool of Power BI
  • Upload, edit, and view files using the Files tab
  • Quickly and easily hold conference calls with enterprise security
