The Excel Inventory Planning Dashboard

The purpose of this Excel inventory planning dashboard is very simple. I want to provide you with a tool that allows you to review your sales and usage numbers for the past 12 months, 6 months and 3 months depending on which time period you feel is the most appropriate. Based on the usage for the part selected, the user will be able to see how much the average monthly consumption is over the time period selected. I’ve included minimum and maximum values as well that pull directly from an item information table that is included as part of the raw data set. These minimum and maximum values will be displayed on the chart and will allow the user to see when they can expect to be below the minimum quantity required. The dashboard also shows the exact day and month that the inventory will be depleted down to zero at the current consumption rate (it’s important to make note that the numbers in this dashboard to not include the current inbound supply as well as current demand levels and quantities). The current on hand inventory will be uploaded and added as your raw data set whenever you feel appropriate.

I am and will not be held responsible for any potential errors when using this dashboard or any decisions that are being made as a result of using this product. This product is also mostly for the use of helping users dissect and learn how to use and create Excel dashboards. Please use this dashboard at your discretion and make sure to clearly review your numbers on the dashboard to ensure its accuracy.
