Retail Case 02 · Regional Fresh-Protein Operator
Assortment reset and execution correction
Planogram drift and over-assortment degraded turns and markdown discipline.
The Problem
Planogram drift, over-assortment, and markdowns clearing mistakes were suppressing category performance.
Root Cause Diagnosis
Case-pack decisions fragmented demand, and promo windows left dead inventory in the set.
What PRO Evaluated
SKU contribution curve, assortment productivity by linear foot, markdown recovery rate, labor allocation against category mix.
The Intervention
Collapsed low-yield tails, standardized facings, and tied promo depth to post-event reorder behavior.
The Outcome
4.2-point margin gain with cleaner turns and fewer emergency markdowns.
The Lesson
Assortment breadth only pays when execution consistency protects turns and post-promo contribution.
