Strategic KPI Dashboard

This sheet compiles metrics that support long-term strategy planning, updated daily. | KPI Metric | Formula Source | |------------|----------------| | Average Daily Stock Turnover Rate | SUM(Daily Usage)/Average Stock Level | | % of Items Below Reorder Threshold | COUNTIF(Status Flag,"Low Stock") / Total Items | | Inventory Holding Cost (Estimate) | SUM(Current Stock Level × Unit Holding Cost) | | On-Time Delivery Rate (from Reorders) | COUNTIF(Reorder Status, "On Time") / Total Reorders |

Formulas Required

=IF(CURRENT_STOCK <= REORDER_THRESHOLD, "Low Stock", IF(CURRENT_STOCK = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))

=IF(AND(Daily_Usage > 0, Current_Stock <= Reorder_Threshold), "Yes", "No")

=Current_Stock - Daily_Usage

=IF(ISBLANK(Last_Reorder_Date), "", Last_Reorder_Date + Lead_Time)

=AVERAGEIFS(Current Stock Level, Category, "Electronics")  // Example for category-specific averages
