Reorder point calculator
Combine expected demand during lead time with a supplied safety stock.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Reorder point = average daily demand × lead time + supplied safety stock. Rounds the final stock threshold up to whole units. Assumes compatible time units and steady average demand. Safety stock and service levels are not estimated.
