All participants can vote on submissions. Forecast Accuracy Performance USF model performance shows significant improvement with established product lines achieving 20% MAPE, demonstrating strong forecast accuracy when input changes are excluded. Month-to-date USF controllable attainment reached 110% with model WAPE at 21.36%. The team identified that 64% of 'good' forecast adjustments were unnecessarily modified, indicating need for better guidance to product managers on when to override forecasts. Ring product line consistently maintains model WAPE in low teens (12.48% month-to-date), suggesting readiness for full axiom adoption. System Health and Automation BI team migration progressing well with USF WBR automation completed and GenAI usage metrics introduced for the first time. Axiom Assist usage increased 15% week-over-week with 132 users generating 135 agent messages, primarily for plan comparisons, promotion management, and forecast analysis. One COE action item remains past due regarding access tool for marketing managers. Supply Chain Challenges Tablets experiencing 73.1% FTIS due to tungsten NCAT constraints (66% of overall miss) with recovery not expected until mid-year. Cannoli facing significant supply shortages with 1.3 million unit deficit to build commit, causing demand shifts to baklava products. E-readers recovered from regionalization issue that intermittently prevented delivery promise display. Alexa EFD managing mixed inventory levels with 17 weeks average cover but concentrated shortages in high-demand products like cannoli (3 weeks cover) versus excess in slower-moving items (28-52 weeks cover). Offline Channel Performance Confirmation rate at 53% driven primarily by Sheldon shared constraints with online channel. Recovery units landing next week with full retailer stock expected first week of March. Cannoli offline performance improved through 40,000 unit shift from online channel with full recovery projected by end of March. Air Shipment Tracking Q1 air shipment trending at 12% versus OP2 goals, with Q2 appearing artificially low due to supply constraints rather than demand issues. Team maintaining financial discipline mechanisms while preparing for potential higher air mix requirements due to supply variability. Amazon Meetings Summary is powered by Amazon AI.
