Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of Excel functions to automate risk scoring, alerts, and forecasts:

=IF(AND(B2>=C2,D3>0), "High", IF(AND(B2 – Risk level determination based on stock levels vs. reorder point.


    =B5*C5 – Calculates risk rating (Probability × Impact).
    =IF(E2>80, "High Obsolescence Risk", IF(E2>50, "Medium", "Low")) – Obsolescence scoring.
    =SUMIFS(Inventory!E:E, Inventory!A:A, A2) – Aggregated stock quantity by item category.
    =TODAY() – Auto-fills current date in review logs.
    =IF(DATEVALUE(H2)>DATE(2024,1,1), "Active", "Inactive") – Quarter-based status check.



Conditional Formatting
To enhance visibility and user awareness, conditional formatting is applied across key areas:

    Risk Rating Cell (in Risk Assessment Log): Red for >75, Yellow for 50–75, Green for <50.
    Low Stock Alert: In Inventory Master List – if Quantity < Reorder Point, cells turn red.
    High Impact Risk (Risk Assessment Log): Bold text and background orange when Impact Level ≥ 4.
    Out-of-Date Items: Automatically flags items older than 18 months with a grey fill and warning icon.
    Forecast Accuracy: Green for >90%, Yellow for 75–90%, Red for <75%.


Instructions for the User
Step-by-Step Guidance:

    Open the template and ensure all sheets are visible.
    Update the "Last Updated Date" in each sheet with current date using =TODAY().
    In Inventory Master List, verify that all stock quantities and reorder points are accurate based on current supply chain data.
    For each inventory item, check if a risk entry exists in the Risk Assessment Log. If not, initiate one based on observed issues or trends.
    In Forecast & Reorder Analysis, enter demand forecasts for the upcoming quarter and validate against historical data.
    Review Risk Dashboard to identify top risks (high probability and impact) needing immediate action.
    Complete the Review Log & Approval Tracking sheet with team input, dates, and actions taken during the quarterly meeting.
    Set up automatic email alerts (via Power Automate or Excel macro) when a stock level drops below reorder point or risk rating exceeds threshold.
