About the role
This interview examines how you turn uncertain demand into practical stock decisions for an online retail operation. The panel wants structured forecasting, clean analysis, clear assumptions and the confidence to challenge both over-ordering and avoidable stock-outs.
How to prepare
- Revise forecast methods and when recent sales should or should not outweigh longer history.
- Prepare an example of managing excess stock, a stock-out risk or an imbalanced network.
- Practise explaining forecast error and inventory trade-offs to a non-technical stakeholder.
- Review the data checks you perform before relying on sales and stock records.
- Be ready to discuss how promotions, seasonality and supplier constraints affect replenishment.
Common mistakes
- Treating the statistical forecast as final without applying business context.
- Optimising availability without discussing excess stock and working capital.
- Using dirty sales history without checking stock-outs, returns or promotion effects.
- Reporting forecast error without identifying a decision or corrective action.
