🎤 Meeting Summary — Wednesday, January 14, 2026

DSO Weekly Business Review (WBR) Wed, January 14 | 02:30 PM - 04:00 PM EST 01:28:01 [02:02 PM - 03:30 PM EST] Meeting summary The weekly DSOWR meeting covered operational performance across forecasting, engineering, and supply chain functions. The team celebrated several wins including completion of lifetime demand tables for MBM and successful AI-assisted ticket handling experiments that show promise for reducing scientist investigation time. However, significant attention focused on a 30-point gap between USF forecast accuracy (88.7%) and Axiom system data (59.8%), primarily attributed to pricing discrepancies in Mexico that require immediate reconciliation. Announcements The engineering team announced a transition in health review metrics, moving from high-level aggregated OE numbers to individual application metrics from WTR. The team also highlighted ongoing lighthouse system maintenance costs with 372 incidents, prompting discussion about potential migration to alternative publishing mechanisms. Forecast Accuracy Performance January month-to-date forecast accuracy showed degradation compared to December's strong performance, with attainment declining from 91.9% to 88.7%. The primary concern centers on unbridged WMAP forecasting controllable metrics worsening from 22.3% to 39.4%. Key problem areas include S&P US and e-reader US, with Cali US requiring an emergency forecast adjustment to be published in the 126 USF by Friday. Price change attribution reached 991 basis points in error, significantly worse than December's 581 basis points. Axiom System Metrics and Performance The new Axiom reporting framework revealed concerning patterns in planning behavior, showing teams adjust 97% of units in areas where forecast accuracy is already strong (less than 30% error rate). This indicates poor resource allocation, as teams spend equal time on high-performing and low-performing forecast areas. The system processed 32 PLMPs with plans published to VDP, though Fire TV data was missing and will be included next week. Deep dive capabilities and value-add adjustment metrics will be available next week to better understand adjustment effectiveness. Supply Chain and Fast Track Delivery Multiple product lines face delivery speed challenges due to inventory constraints and over-attainment. Australia EFD shows 45% fast track with 47-day delivery speeds, driven by cannoli, baklava, hypnos, and Cyprus programs all performing under 10% fast track. The region achieved 115% Q4 attainment across these programs, creating allocation challenges as a low LTV region. Recovery plans include promo removals in US and DE for cannoli, with worldwide recovery expected by February for hypnos and baklava. Fire TV maintains 77% fast track, primarily due to EOL programs in the US, while tablets face significant constraints with tungsten running out of inventory in early February due to delayed Kitty Hawk shipments. Decisions Cali US forecast adjustment will be published in 126 USF by Friday US and DE will remove cannoli promos completely in Q1 Will use USF forecast for Calvados and OP2 for Paloma and Gibson due to mix constraints Axiom metrics will transition from high-level OE numbers to individual application metrics from WTR Next steps Send email update on USF slide definitions and reconcile 30-point attainment gap Complete BFCM recap analysis with regional performance breakdown for GBR Implement scenario ID and program naming fixes for Axiom Assist by February Evaluate lighthouse system usage and create plan to potentially migrate to alternative publishing mechanism Add deep dive files and value-add adjustment metrics to Axiom reporting next week Follow up on Japan Cali recovery timeline and supply chain constraints Amazon Meetings Summary is powered by Amazon AI.
