Report Overview
This report allows you to evaluate performance by geographic region and type of distribution center to help you optimize replenishment, reduce waste or out of stocks, and better align supply with actual in-store demand. Target has two types of distribution centers Food Distribution Centers (FDCs), which focus on distributing food products, and Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs), which carry a broader range of goods. This report contains two pages, one for each DC type, so you can evaluate them separately, as each type has distinct supply chain dynamics, product handling requirements, and performance considerations that impact sales and inventory differently.
RDC and FDC Insights pages
These page allow you to see your performance at Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs) and Food Distribution Centers (FDCs) by geographic region. You can select a metric from the top of the page (e.g., Total Sales $), to filter the heat map by a specific performance indicator. These pages contains the following visualizations:
Visualizations
- Dynamic Measure by RDC (heat map): This heat map displays the selected measure on a heat map to help you spot regional trends.
- RDC/FDC table: This table provides sales, inventory, and out of stock details for each RDC/FDC to help you key in on what's driving regional trends.
- Dynamic measure by state (chart): This chart displays the total value for the selected time period and metric broken down by state, to help you evaluate if specific states are driving trends.
