This ensures accessibility across departments including procurement, operations, compliance, and risk analysis teams.

Sheet Names

The template includes five primary worksheets:

1. Inventory Master: Central database of all inventory items.
2. Risk Assessment Log: Tracks identified risks linked to specific inventory components.
3. Stock Levels & Alerts: Monitors current stock levels with automated threshold alerts.
4. Supplier Risk Matrix: Evaluates supplier performance and risk exposure.
5. Dashboards & Reports: Visual summary of key metrics, charts, and trend analysis.

• Risk Index Score (0–100): Calculated as weighted average of key factors
• Recommended Action: Auto-generated suggestion based on score

Formulas Required for Dynamic Calculations

The template uses powerful Excel formulas to ensure real-time updates and intelligent risk scoring:

• Risk Score in Risk Assessment Log Sheet: `=IF(AND(F3>=1,G3>=1),ROUND(F3*G3/5,0),0)` – Combines likelihood and impact.
• Stock Age (in Stock Levels sheet): `=TODAY()-H2` – Calculates days since last restock.
• Alert Status: `=IF(C2<B2,"Low Stock","Normal")` – Triggers alert when below reorder point.
• Risk Index Score (Supplier Sheet): `=ROUND((D2*0.3 + E2*0.4 + IF(H2="High",10,IF(H2="Medium",5,1))*0.3), 1)` – Weighted average with priority to delivery and compliance.
• Inventory Risk Score (Master Sheet): `=IF(ISBLANK(F4),0,VLOOKUP(F4,Risk_Assessment_Log!$A:$J,12,FALSE))` – Pulls risk score from the risk log based on item ID.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

• Low Stock Alerts: Cells in "Stock Levels & Alerts" where current stock < reorder point will turn red.
• Risk Scores > 70: Highlighted in yellow/orange to signal high-risk items or suppliers.
• Obsolescence Status: Items with status "Obsolete" are shaded gray with bold text.
• Past Due Deliveries: Supplier entries with delivery scores < 4 appear in red and italicized.

User Instructions

To use this template effectively:

1. Open the file and copy-paste initial inventory data into the Inventory Master sheet.
2. For each item, review or add a risk assessment in the Risk Assessment Log sheet using standardized scales.
3. Set reorder points and lead times based on historical demand patterns.
4. Monitor real-time alerts in the Stock Levels & Alerts sheet—any stock below threshold will trigger immediate visual warnings.
5. Review supplier risks monthly to assess performance and initiate mitigation strategies.
6. Generate reports or dashboards from the Dashboards & Reports sheet for executive review.
