HOW IT WORKS

Find the inventory level where you place the next order so you never stock out mid-lead-time.

1
Enter your numbers
Type average daily sales, supplier lead time in days, and your safety-stock cushion.
2
We set the trigger
Reorder point = (daily sales × lead time) + safety stock. The first term covers demand while a fresh order is in transit.
3
Use the result
When on-hand inventory drops to this number, reorder. Safety stock buffers demand spikes and supplier delays.
