Improving Profits by Analyzing Data Understanding all the rules, and when to break them A few ground rules before we begin: You are the center of attention! A few ground rules before we begin: please feel free to ask questions as we go! A few ground rules before we begin: There will be time for reflection & conversation with your neighbor Let’s begin! Please introduce yourself to your neighbor(s) and exchange the following information: • Name • Company • Where you are Located? • How many Cheeses are in your Assortment over the course of a year? Get your Cellphones ready! How Many Cheeses do you sell in the course of a year? • A – Fewer than 100 • B – 100-200 • C – 200-300 • D – 300-400 • E – More than 400 Quick facts about di bruno bros. cheese department Year Sales GM% GP$ 2014 $ 4,225,523 50.88% $ 2,150,026 2015 $ 4,416,506 53.99% $ 2,384,591 $ Variance $ 190,983 3.11% $ 234,565 % Variance 4.32% 5.76% 9.84% Interesting Note: If we had not improved the GM%, our increase in sales would have netted us only a $97k increase in gross profit dollars. (4.5%) If we had only increased GM% and not sales, we would have increased our gross profit dollars by $130k. (6%) Department analysis strategy a “top-down” approach 1) Identify the categories within cheese that contribute the most to sales. 2) Focus first on the categories generating the most sales: At Di Bruno Bros., the “Hard” category is the largest, followed by Firm, “other,” Soft Ripened, Fresh and Blue 3) Identify the top-performing SKUs within Hard Cheese -Analyze by Price Architecture -Evaluate YoY Performance -Consider Shrink Numbers -Establish NOOS Lists 4) For each Category, prepare a plan to grow/maintain/decline 5) When do we raise retails? How do we scout the competition? 6) Complete the analysis on a quarterly basis 7) Complete a year end review to construct the basis of next year’s plan Cheese Department Cheese represents 13% of total Rittenhouse Sales $600,000 101 Total SKUs.

Does Your business utilize the 80-20 rule when making category management decisions? • 1 – Yes. • 2 – No. Never heard of it. • 3 – No. We know it but don’t utilize it. What we learn from the 80-20 rule Focus Your Work on the Top 20% of your Assortment. a) Know your top sellers and love them to death. b) Create NOOS Lists c) Negotiate with Vendors 2) Objectively evaluate the cheeses contributing to the bottom 20% of sales. Are they imperative to the assortment? Should they be better emphasized? Creating noos lists WHAT CHEEESE SHOULD NEVER BE OUT OF STOCK? NOOS based on sales Objectively analyze the data. If the 80-20 rule is approximately true, make the top 20% of SKUs NOOS items.
