Adoption boundary

Where spreadsheets are enough and where systems help

Supply-chain workbooks are good for aligning decision logic. When data sources, permissions, and reminders grow, move the repeated parts into a system.

Spreadsheet fit

One team aligning quickly

When data volume is small and the rule is still being tested, a workbook is the fastest shared layer.

FAQ

Supply-chain template FAQ

Review the inputs and operating boundary before downloading.

Why focus on last movement date?

Inventory quantity alone does not show whether stock is moving. Last movement date reveals how long cash has been tied up.

How is turnover calculated?

The workbook divides cost of goods issued by average inventory value for monthly and quarterly views.

Should all 180+ day items be written off?

No. The alert marks priority review for transfer, markdown, supplier return, or disposal.
