Understanding customer spending patterns is crucial for effective business management in the retail industry, especially in grocery stores. This repository presents a Monte Carlo simulation and risk analysis model developed to analyze customer spending and daily revenue fluctuations for a grocery store across four product categories: fresh baked goods, meat and dairy, produce, and frozen food.
The objective of this project is to employ Monte Carlo simulation techniques to understand customer spending patterns and assess daily revenue variability in a grocery store. By simulating customer behavior across product categories, the model aims to provide insights into revenue fluctuations and sensitivity to changes in customer spending.
The Monte Carlo simulation technique was employed to simulate customer spending behavior across various product categories, utilizing a dataset that includes daily customer counts and spending patterns for each category. The simulation iterated 1000 times to explore daily revenue variability thoroughly.
Average daily revenue, standard deviation, and distribution of daily revenue derived from 1000 iterations.
Conducted sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis to evaluate revenue changes based on fluctuations in customer spending across product categories.
Identified influential product categories on daily revenue and provided strategic recommendations for revenue optimization.
Recommendations for deeper analysis into factors driving higher spending and tracking spending trends over time.
Integrating Monte Carlo simulation and risk assessment provides valuable insights into daily revenue fluctuations and revenue sensitivity to changes in customer spending patterns. The analysis empowers grocery store managers to make informed decisions to optimize revenue and manage risks effectively.
Stakeholders in the grocery retail industry can leverage this analysis to understand customer behavior, optimize product offerings, and implement strategic initiatives to maximize revenue and profitability.
