The Automated Stock Management and Replenishment System is designed to optimize inventory levels in retail environments by leveraging predictive analytics. The primary purpose of this DAG is to ensure that stock levels are maintained according to real-time sales data and forecasts, thereby minimizing the risk of stockouts and overstock situations. The system ingests data from various sources, including sales transaction logs, inventory databases, and market trend reports. The ingestion pipeline begins with the collection of sales and inventory data, which is then processed to evaluate current stock levels against predicted sales demands. The processing steps include data cleansing to ensure quality, analysis of sales trends, and the application of machine learning algorithms for accurate forecasting. If stock levels fall below a predefined threshold, the DAG automatically triggers replenishment orders and sends alerts to inventory management teams, ensuring timely restocking. Outputs of this DAG include replenishment orders, stock level reports, and alerts for critical stock situations. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as stockout rates and replenishment times allows businesses to assess the effectiveness of their inventory management strategies. Additionally, in the event of a failure in processing, the DAG is designed to automatically restart, ensuring continuous operation and reliability. Overall, this system delivers significant business value by enhancing inventory accuracy, reducing operational costs, and improving customer satisfaction through better product availability.
