    Buffer inventory to prevent stockouts.

    How it works

    Safety Stock covers the gap between worst-case demand during worst-case lead time and your normal run rate. Enter four numbers and you get the minimum units to hold before you should reorder.

    Formula: Safety Stock = (Max Daily Sales × Max Lead Time) − (Avg Daily Sales × Avg Lead Time).
