Questions

What is a reorder point?

It is the stock level at which you place a new order. Your supplier needs some days to deliver, and you keep selling in the meantime. The reorder point is the pieces you sell during that wait, plus a cushion.

How is the reorder point worked out?

Daily sales multiplied by the lead time plus the safety days. If you sell 4 a day, the supplier takes 4 days and you keep 3 days of cushion, the reorder point is 4 × 7 = 28 pieces. When stock falls to 28 or below, order.

What is safety stock?

Extra stock that covers a late delivery or a busy week. The tool takes it in days of sales. Three days is a typical start. Raise it if your supplier is often late, for example around Eid, when markets close for days.

How much should I order?

The tool orders enough for the number of cover days you choose, based on daily sales. If your supplier sells in packs of 6 or 12, enter the pack size and the quantity is rounded up to a whole pack.

What does it mean when a product runs out before the order arrives?

Your stock is lower than what you will sell during the lead time. Even if you order today, you will be out for some days. The table marks these so you can call the supplier first or ask for a faster delivery.

How do I find my daily sales?

Take the pieces sold over the last 30 days and divide by 30. If sales jump in some weeks, use the busier figure for that product. Decimals such as 1.5 a day are fine.
