Reorder Level Calculation 

The reorder level is defined as the sum of the safety stock plus the requirement forecast within the replenishment lead time (see formula (17)).

A forecast was carried out on a monthly basis. A month has 30 days in the case of external procurement.

Safety stock

2nd subsequent periode

3rd subsequent period

400

Replenishment lead time

40 days

0/30

   

30/30 + 10/30

 

(an entire monthly requirement + a part of the the following month)

Reorder level = 100 + 30/30 * 200 + 10/30 * 300 = 400
