ASSIGNMENT TASK 2
Objective - Inventory Shipment Planning for Amazon FBA
We sell our products on Amazon, and we need to regularly send our inventory to
Amazon's FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) warehouses in the United States. FBA is
a service where Amazon handles the storage, packing, shipping, and customer
service for the orders.
Right now, we are getting ready to send a shipment to the FBA warehouse. This
is to make sure we have enough stock available for our customer orders during
the next quarter (Q3-2024).
You have been given data on:
1. Current inventory at Amazon's warehouse.
2. Recent sales data.
3. Sales data from the past year.
Your Task:
1. Review the provided data.
2. Analyze it to determine how much inventory we should send to Amazon's
warehouse for each SKU.
3. Ensure we have enough stock for the next quarter's sales (Q3-2024).
This analysis will help us manage our inventory better and make sure we can
fulfill customer orders on time.
