Empty-Package Shrink Dashboard

Excel Forecasting & BI

Demo

Explore shrink trends and hotspots with filters and breakdown tabs.

  • Wait for the dashboard to finish warming up and load data.
  • Switch between “Retail Value” and “Incident Count” depending on what you want to compare.
  • Apply filters (location, condition, department, associate, date range) to narrow the view.
  • Use “Reset filters” to quickly return to the full dataset.

STAR Summary

  • Cleaned and anonymized 2021-2023 loss-prevention records into a dashboard-ready dataset.
  • Built Excel drill-downs for location, department, associate, recovery location, date range, incident count, and retail value.
  • Added trend and forecasting views so stakeholders could spot acceleration, not just historical totals.
  • Identified a small set of locations, departments, and recovery paths driving disproportionate shrink.
  • Made growth periods and hotspots visible enough for targeted review instead of broad manual scanning.
  • Created a reusable BI workflow that can be refreshed and extended with anomaly alerts.

Notes

Employee and location identifiers are anonymized; the dashboard compares both incident count and retail value so hotspots are not judged by volume alone.
