## What it does

This skill reviews inventory health through turnover, days of inventory, stockout rate, and perfect order rate. It can run ABC analysis for SKUs, calculate safety stock, and derive reorder points from demand and lead time.

It covers self-fulfillment, Amazon FBA and FBM, Walmart WFS, 3PL, Shopify Fulfillment Network, TikTok Shop Fulfillment, dropshipping, and hybrid setups. For FBA, it addresses IPI, aged stock, and restock limits. For 3PL operations, it examines provider costs, SLAs, and hidden fees.

Start with the fulfillment model, SKU count, monthly order volume, and the main issues. Those inputs are required for the audit. No API key is required.

high storage costs on slow movers. Help me optimize.
```

I use FBA for my Amazon store. IPI score dropped to 350. I have excess inventory 
warnings on 40 SKUs. How do I fix this before I get storage limits?
```
