Small Business Reorder Point, Safety Stock & Order Quantity Planner

Calculate one SKU's safety stock, reorder point, inventory position, case-pack order quantity and cash exposure with visible assumptions.

When should I reorder, and how many units?

Reorder when inventory position reaches the reorder point, then round the gap to your chosen coverage target up to a whole supplier case pack. Count committed and already-on-order units before acting.

Method

Safety stock uses maximum-use minus average-use during lead time. Reorder point adds average lead-time demand. Order quantity fills the chosen coverage target and rounds up to a case pack.

Important limitation

This simple method is not a statistical forecast. Promotions, intermittent demand, perishability, minimum orders, cash limits and stale stock counts require separate judgement.

Update the inputs after each meaningful demand or supplier change; stale data creates false precision.
