• {{data}} – inventory data including stock levels, turnover rates, and stockout dates (attach or describe)

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs: if no data is provided, request the product name and time period, and ask for data format.
2. Generate a report showing current stock levels, average stock level, turnover rate, and any stockouts during the period.
3. Analyze historical data to identify significant trends (e.g., seasonal patterns, declining turnover) that affect production planning.
4. Provide a summary of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as inventory turnover ratio, days of inventory on hand, and stockout frequency.
5. Suggest additional KPIs that could improve insight, and recommend ways to improve accuracy of reporting.

Output format A structured report with sections: Executive Summary, KPIs Table, Trend Analysis, and Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points. Keep language actionable.
