Merch portfolio framework
A reproducible merch portfolio framework for Portugal: owners, gates, KPIs, escalation and audit trail from the Lisbon hub.
Scope and ownership
The merch portfolio framework is a reproducible operational layer for merch programs in Portugal: role owners, decision gates, KPIs, escalation paths, and audit trail. It plugs into procurement, brand, HR, legal and finance — with a single source of truth shared via the Lisbon hub. Quarterly review cadence; annual full refresh.
What changes month-on-month
Concrete monthly deliverables: an updated supplier scorecard (lead time, defect rate, certification status), a pricing benchmark (EUR ex-VAT 23%), a top-3 risk register, and a live decision log signed off by program owner. Portal das Finanças (AT) invoicing is reconciled within the same cycle.
