How this is calculated
Peak months can be 3-5x normal sales. This planner helps you back-calculate the order size from your forecast, lead time and safety buffer so you avoid both stockouts and leftover inventory.
- Demand = monthly avg x peak multiplier x peak months
- Reorder point = lead-time demand + safety buffer
What to make of the number
Keep peak inventory orders within 6 months of normal monthly volume to avoid dead stock.
Frequently asked questions
Should I split orders?
Yes, if your supplier allows partial shipments. It reduces risk of over-ordering and lowers storage fees.
