Retail Supply Chain and Speed Models
You follow one sixteen-week autumn bedlinen phase at a fifty-four shop home retailer, from the sourcing calendar to the January clearance trader. You price three lead-time rungs against each other. You read gross margin per unit and per shelf metre. And you see a season that ended badly over-bought, without one indefensible decision in it.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can allocate an intake across stores on evidence rather than an even split, tell the difference between the stock your system claims and the stock that exists, and plan for returns as a cost you priced in.
Who it is for
Brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a commitment-lock calendar for one department. You build a space sheet reading every line three ways: per unit, per shelf metre-week, and per pallet. You run a weekly unit plan against a hard pallet ceiling in the warehouse. And you write a break-even rule for sizing a fast supply rung against the units a clearance channel would destroy rather than discount.
