Using a dataset of monthly demand patterns for the past 2 years, with seasonality and trend components, develop a predictive model to forecast future demand for a critical inventory item, and then calculate the optimal reorder point and reorder quantity based on a target service level of 95% and a lead time of 6 weeks, taking into account the item's carrying costs, shortage costs, and procurement lead time. The output should include a graphical representation of the forecasted demand, the calculated reorder point and quantity, and a summary of the key performance indicators.

Analyze a set of 10 contracts with expiring dates within the next 6 months, with terms and conditions, pricing, and performance metrics, to identify opportunities for renegotiation, consolidation, or termination, considering factors such as market trends, supplier performance, and organizational objectives.
