{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">Use Case:</mark> A supply chain manager wants to understand which products are often purchased together to improve bundling strategies. Additionally, a warehouse needs to calculate the months of supply for each item to ensure stock is maintained at optimal levels. Lumi allows these advanced KPI calculations in real time using simple language.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">Note:</mark> These types of calculations often need to be configured and are not "out of the box" like simple aggregations above. Proper setup and business context are necessary.
{% endhint %}

> **Typical Prompts:**
>
> 1. *"Which items are most frequently ordered together over the past 6 months?"*
> 2. *"Calculate the outbound cases per hour for each warehouse in Q2 2024."*
> 3. *"What is the average lead time for deliveries, and which supplier has the longest lead time?"*
>
> **Example Output: Which items have the highest months of supply?**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lumi-ai.com/using-lumi/lumi-use-cases/business-metrics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
