Our proprietary 9-Box tool uses your data to identify and highlight actionable improvements to inventory levels, pricing effectiveness, customer profitability and SKU rationalization. We profile inventory in segments based on volume and volatility. The segments are based on Sales, transactions, gross margins and inventory. These views allow for differentiated inventory strategies by segment, as well as identifying pricing inconsistencies and customer management opportunities.

The One Thing
Today we will explore an established, reliable methodology to highlight
and quantify opportunities to improve earnings and reduce inventory, after
evaluating the effectiveness of current SKU, pricing strategy and customer
management.
What is the One Thing you want to come away with from this workshop?

Workshop Agenda
• Introduction
• Discussion – To segment or not to segment. The 9
Boxes.
• Review 9-Box methodology
• Group Exercise
• Advanced Topics – Fully Leverage the Data
– Slotting strategies
– DC Optimization
• Conclusion

“9-Box” Analysis – Summary
• These 9 boxes profile inventory in segments
based on volume and volatility
• ABC Volume Segmentation is calculated based
on COGS
– A Items – First 80% of COGS
– B Items – Next 15% of COGS
– C Items – Final 5% of COGS
• Volatility Segmentation incorporates the
standard deviation of weekly shipments
• Low Volatility – Ratio of StDev of weekly shipments to
average weekly shipments < .7
• Medium – Ratio is between .71 and 1.0
• High – Ratio is above 1.0
Low High

• We profile each segment in terms of:
– Total Sales
– Number of transactions
– Number of SKUs
– Gross Margin
– Inventory Investment ($)
– Return on Inventory (Turn and Earn)
– Days on Hand

“9-Box” – Analysis Logic
• Data taken from TTM (annualized for items with less than 1 year of
history)
• Average demand and volatility are calculated excluding weeks in
which there is no demand (0 demand weeks are not included in the
calculation).
• “Transactions” summarizes the number of lines on which the part was
included during the year.
• “Turn and Earn” is a measure of return on the investment in inventory.
The formula used is:
– Inventory turns (based on COGS) * Gross Margin %
– A turn and earn ratio of 120 is generally considered a minimum level for
distributors
• Operating Margin estimated by allocated $160.82 to each transaction.
The intent is to spread COMPANY’s cost for Labor, Service and Burden
over all orders.

9-Box Summary Notes
• Analysis is based on 52 weeks of sales history data starting 7.1.2014
through 6.28.2015 and associated inventory values at the end of the
period.
• Client business is highly seasonal driven by weather
• Mixing fees for both internal and external mixing and vendor-direct
mixing are not included in the COGS data. NOTE: analysis showed impact at
this time is negligible.
• Average demand and volatility are calculated excluding weeks in
which there is no demand (0 demand weeks are not included in the
calculation).
• “Lines” summarizes the number of lines on which the part was
included during the year.
• “Turn and Earn” is a measure of return on the investment in
inventory. The formula used is:
Inventory turns (based on COGS) * Gross Margin %
A turn and earn ratio of 120 (based on Gross Margin) is generally considered a
minimum level for distributors.

19. Division A 9-Box: Volume & Volatility Notes:
All Segments with the
exception of AC and BD have
low or poor T&E Ratios which
is most likely attributable to
high inventory levels.
Margins look good with
exception of BA which only
represents 1% of total sales.
A rather large number of A
volume SKUs (372 of 1002)
make up 87% of sales.
A Volume SKUs receive 6.4x
more sales versus B SKUs
and 38x more sales than C
SKUs.
There is risk with 33% of total
sales in the AC Segment.
Scheduling and / Inventory
Strategy should be reviewed
to reduce OOS situations.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce
inventory by $1,313,316.
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $245,036 of
inventory w/o sales in past
year (does NOT factor in
consumption data).
There are is a sizeable
amount of new(?) SKUs
(2,212 of ) with less than 5
weeks of orders making up
23% of total sales. REF "D

This analysis calculates the marginal sales / EBITDA that would come from ensuring that smaller customers and

23. Division B 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
84% of sales come from A volume
SKUs w/ 37% in the high volatility
segment. As with the overall 9-
Box - careful planning and
inventory management is needed
to avoid out-of-stock (oos) events
for both AB and AC segments.
A Volume SKUs receive 5x more
sales versus B SKUs and 16.5x
more sales than C SKUs.
All 9 segments have poor T/Es
which clearly is a result of high INV
in all segments.
Margins look good: improving with
lower volume SKUs and increasing
Volatility.
As mentioned above, all segments
have large amounts of inventory
days on hand.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory by
$1,642,959.
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $383,970 of inventory
for the 428 SKUs without sales in
the past year. Data does not factor
consumption for RM.

27. Division C 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
72% of Total Sales and 70% of
Total GM come from 296 A
Volume SKUs.
The AC Segment (High Volume /
High Volatility) represents 29% of
all sales from just 128 AC SKUs.
A Volume SKUs receive 2.6x more
sales versus B SKUs and 10x
more sales than C SKUs.
7 of 9 segments have
unacceptable T/Es and similar to
Division D's, Division C's margins
appear to be good, but rather
chaotic.
REF “XX Pricing Plan" tab for
opportunity to improve margin.
Most segments (exceptions AC &
CC) have large amounts of
inventory days on hand.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory by
$477,098 (43% of total).
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $81,050 of inventory
for the 104 SKUs without sales in
the past year nor the $60,036 in D-
Volatility inventory. Data does not
factor consumption for RM.
BD and CD Segments represent
7% of sales and 168 SKUs. These
SKUs with less than 5 weeks of
COGs during the year coupled with
C Volatility SKUs represent 40% of
sales - from high volatility or rarely
ordered SKUs. Planning and
inventory management of these
SKUs is very important and should
be further explored.

This analysis calculates the marginal sales / EBITDA that would come from ensuring that smaller customers and
SKU's have at least the same margin as A customers / A SKU's.
31. Notes:
79% of Total Sales and 77% of Total
GM come from 370 A Volume SKUs.
The AA Segment (High Volume / Low
Volatility) represents 30% of all sales
from just 66 AA SKUs.
A Volume SKUs receive 4.4x more
sales versus B SKUs and 13.7x more
sales than C SKUs.
8 of 9 segments have poor T/Es and
unlike many of the other DC's, Division
D's Margins are not as high and they
appear to be rather chaotic in nature.
REF "MD Pricing Plan" tab for
opportunity to improve margin.
All segments have large amounts of
inventory days on hand.
See "INV Plan" tab for an opportunity to
reduce inventory by $1,004,588.
This opportunity DOES NOT include the
$792,090 of inventory for the 478 SKUs
without sales in the past year. Data
does not factor consumption for RM.
BD and CD Segments represent 6% of
sales and 266 SKUs. These SKUs with
less than 5 weeks of COGs during the
year coupled with C Volatility SKUs
represent 37% of sales - from high
volatility or rarely ordered SKUs.
Planning and inventory
management of these SKUs is very
important and should be further
explored.

32. Division D 9-Box: Volume & Customer
Notes:
Margins look good for A and B
Volume Segments. C volume
margins should be further
explored as there appears to be
some opportunity to improve
margins on lower volume SKUs
and smaller customers.
All segments have too much
inventory and this is reflected in
poor T/E ratios.
See V&V 9-Box for possible
scenarios to improve.
70% of Total Sales come from
the 586 Large Customers (A) -
definitely an opportunity to
create unique program offerings
to these customers.
Sales per transaction from
Large customers are 1.6x
higher vs MED (B) Customers
and 3x more sales per
transaction versus Small (C)
Customers

35. Division E 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
50% of sales come from one
segment: AB, high volume
and volatility. As with the
overall 9-Box - careful planning
and inventory management is
needed to avoid out-of-stock
(oos) events.
A Volume SKUs receive 5x
more sales versus B SKUs
and 16x more sales than C
SKUs.
5 of 9 segments have poor T/E
Ratios
Margins look good: improving
with lower volume SKUs and
increasing Volatility.
Inventory levels are high for
both B and C Volume SKUs.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory
by $690,342.
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $430,274 of
inventory for the 986 SKUs
without sales in the past year.
Data does not factor
consumption for RM.

36. Division E 9-Box: Volume & Customer
Notes:
Margins are a concern with Small
Customers (representing 39% of
TOT CUST):
The company is experiencing
significantly lower margins on A
and C Volume items with small
customers relative to their
medium and large customers.
Along these same lines:
64% of Total Sales are High
Volume / Large Customers (150)
- AA Segment. These same (A)
Large Customers also comprise
11% of the B Volume and 3% of
C Volume SKUs.
Bottom line - 70% of customers
comprise 20% of sales and the
company is receiving lower
margins from these customers.
B and C Volume SKUs have too
much inventory. See V&V 9-Box
for possible scenarios to
improve.
A Volume segments have an
acceptable T/E Ratio while the B
and C volume segments have
poor T/E ratios - again, most
likely attributable to high
inventory levels.

39. All Other DCs 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
(includes Vendor Direct Ship, Location F,
Consignment, Location G and Location H)
Notes:
It should be noted that SHIP-
DIRECT from Vendors makes up:
96% of TOTAL Sales and COGS;
93% of Gross Margin; and 72% of
Transactions and Inventory.
Given the majority of this 9-Box is
related to Direct Ships from
vendors, all inventory assessment,
T/E and Days of Inventory are
somewhat not applicable.
89% of Total Sales are from A
Volume SKUs.
The AC (High Volume / High
Volatility) and AD (High Volume /
<5 Wks of Orders) segments
represents 60% of Total Sales - a
thorough review of the planning
and inventory management of the
direct ship business is highly
recommended.
Margins for this "site" are the
lowest in the company. It is highly
recommended that further analysis
been conducted regarding the
Direct Ship Business.
Although inventory from sales was
not assessed, it should be noted
that there is a significant amount of
inventory ($641,058) for 358 SKUs
not having any sales in the past
year. NOTE: Data does not factor
consumption for raw material
SKUs.

44. Product Group U 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
All Segments with the exception
of AC and AD have low or poor
T&E Ratios which is most likely
attributable to high inventory
levels.
Margins are chaotic and seem to
lack policy or standardization.
See “U Pricing Plan“ tab for
recommendation as to how to
increase sales by up to:
$2,909,760
There is tremendous risk with
this product line (U) having over
58% of Total sales
in High (C) Volatility (43%) & D-
Volt SKUs (15%) - those only
ordered 4 or less x / year.
Careful supply and demand
planning should occur to reduce
out-of-stock situations while
avoiding unnecessary built up
after the FALL Peak Season.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory
by $3,317,896.
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $4,194,746 of
inventory w/o sales in past year
nor does it include the D - Volt
inventory of $1,132,892 below.

48. Product Group V 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
All Segments with the exception of
AD and BD have low or poor T&E
Ratios.
Margins are chaotic and seem to
lack policy or standardization. See
“V Pricing Plan“ tab for
recommendation as to how to
increase sales by 2%.
There is tremendous risk with this
product line (V) having over 70% of
sales in High Volatility (59%) and
with D-Volt SKUs - those only
ordered 4 or less x / year.
Careful supply and demand
planning should occur to reduce
out-of-stock situations while
avoiding unnecessary built up after
the very high volume FALL Season
for COVER.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory by
$2,292,622.
This opportunity DOES NOT include
the $238,432 of inventory w/o sales
in past year nor does it include any
of the $499,926 in D-Volatility
inventory.
A Items - 9x more sales versus B
items; A Items 76x more sales v C

52. Product Group W 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
All Segments with the
exception of AA (+D-Volt: AD,
BD) have low or poor T&E
Ratios.
Margins are chaotic and seem
to lack policy or
standardization. See “W
Pricing Plan“ tab for
recommendation as to how to
increase sales by 2%.
Unlike other Product Groups, W
does not have as high % sales
from High Volatility (17%) and
D-Volt (15%) SKUs - those only
ordered 4 or less x / year.
Although not as high, with 32%
of sales coming from these two
segments there's still a need for
careful supply and demand
planning should occur to reduce
out-of-stock situations while
avoiding unnecessary built up
after the FALL Season for W.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory
by $5,127,436.
This opportunity DOES NOT
include the $466,920 of
inventory w/o sales in past year
nor does it include any of the
$621,580 in D-Volatility
inventory.

56. Product Group X 9-Box: Volume & Volatility

Excellent T/E Ratios for All A
Volm Product Group X
Segments - AA, AB, AC (and
AD).
Margins are chaotic and seem
to lack policy or standardization.
See “X Pricing Plan"
tab for recommendation as to
how to increase PG X sales by
up to 8%.
Like most other Product
Groups, a large % of PG X
Sales (85%) come from High
Volatility (79%) and D-Volt (6%)
SKUs - those only ordered less
than 5x per year.
Careful supply and demand
planning should occur to reduce
out-of-stock situations and to
avoid unnecessary built up after
the FALL Season for PG X.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory
by $397,100.
This opportunity does not
include the $176926 of

57. Product Group X 9-Box: Volume & Customer
Notes:
Solid T/E Ratio from
High Volume SKUs;
Poor T/E from BC
Volume SKUs.
With the exception of
Segment AC,
Customer Margins
look good with
increasing margins
with smaller
customers and lower
volume SKUs.
BC Volume Segments
have too much
inventory. See V&V
9-Box for possible
scenarios to reduce
inventory.
36% of PG X
Customers are
considered Large (A)
and comprise 88% of
Sales - Nice
opportunity to create
unique program
offerings to these
customers.

60. Product Group Y 9-Box: Volume & Volatility
Notes:
Excellent T/E Ratios for most A
Volm Product Group Y Segments
- AA, AC (and AD).
Margins are chaotic and seem to
lack policy or standardization.
See “Y Pricing Plan“ tab for
recommendation as to how to
increase PG Y sales by up to 4%.
Unlike other Product Groups
(except PG W), PG Y does not
have as high % sales from High
Volatility (30%) and D-Volt (7%)
SKUs - those only ordered 4 or
less x / year.
Although not as high, with 37% of
total sales from C and D VOLT
SKUs there's still a need for
careful supply and demand
planning should occur to reduce
out-of-stock situations and avoid
unnecessary built up after the
FALL Peak Season for PG Y.
See "INV Plan" tab for an
opportunity to reduce inventory by
$171,452.
This opportunity does not include
the $177,036 of inventory w/o
sales in past year nor does it
include any of the $123,470 in D-
Volatility inventory.
A Items - 7.4x more sales versus
B items; A Items 47x more sales
v C Items
