Supply Chain
Safety Stock Calculator
Compute the buffer inventory needed to absorb demand spikes and supplier lead-time delays, using the max-minus-average method. Useful for setting safety-stock levels in ERPs, lean-inventory policies, and high-service-level retail or industrial operations.

Supply Chain
Reorder Point Calculator
Compute the inventory level at which to place a replenishment order, combining expected demand during lead time with a safety-stock buffer. Useful for setting auto-reorder triggers in ERPs, WMS systems, and lean inventory policies.
