John S. Tamang – Retail Operations Professor Practical Retail Operations Consulting for SME/MSME Retail Owners in India

If you are a retail business owner struggling with inventory pile-up, dead stock, cash flow stress, staff non-performance, and daily firefighting, the issue is not sales alone—it is retail operations control.

With 25+ years of real, hands-on experience across large-format and multi-category retail brands, I work 4. Retail SOPs, Process Standardization & Operations Control with Indian SME/MSME retailers to fix execution gaps, systemize retail businesses, and restore profitability. My consulting and coaching practice, established in June 2023, is built on proven turnaround and scale experience—not theory.

Retail Inventory Management & Cash Flow Improvement

Most retail inventory management problems begin with poor tracking and over-buying. Excess stock blocks capital and creates cash flow pressure.

Step-by-Step Framework for Dead Stock Reduction Step 1: Inventory Ageing Analysis

Classify stock into:

Fast Moving

Slow Moving

Non-Moving (90+ days)

Dead Stock (180+ days)

Step 2: Action Plan

Liquidation calendar for slow SKUs

Bundle offers

Vendor return negotiation

Weekly sell-through tracking

Step 3: Cash Flow Dashboard

Track weekly:

Stock Turn

GMROI

Inventory Ageing %

Category-wise contribution

Retail cash flow improvement starts when inventory starts moving faster—not when you push more purchases.

Retail Staff Performance – JD–KRA–KPI & Accountability Systems

Staff non-performance is usually a system problem, not a people problem. Most stores lack clarity.

JD KRA KPI for Retail Staff – Execution Model Job Description (JD)

Customer engagement

Billing accuracy

Stock handling discipline

Key Result Areas (KRA)

Sales target achievement

Conversion improvement

Add-on selling

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Daily sales per staff

Conversion %

Average bill value

Units per bill

Retail staff accountability systems improve only when daily retail KPIs are visible and reviewed consistently.

Footfall without conversion means opportunity leakage.

Conversion improvement in retail stores comes from:

Daily performance review

Retail sales growth becomes predictable when daily tracking becomes non-negotiable.

Retail SOPs, Process Standardization & Operations Control

If your business depends entirely on you, it is not systemized.

Lack of SOPs causes:

Shrinkage

Customer inconsistency

Reporting gaps

Constant firefighting
