Replaces: a NETSTOCK spreadsheet row with no working shown
What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC East — Brentwood holds 0 free, which is under a day of cover against a forecast of 0.8 a day. Bio Hygiene needs 3 days and class C carries 14 days of safety stock, so the target position is 15 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 20 from Bio Hygiene.
Do nothing and MSC East — Brentwood is already out, so every order for this line goes short until something arrives. That is about 3 units of demand across the lead time. That is about £10 of sales at risk on this line alone.

Every figure on this page is the one the order will carry. Accepting the line copies none of it by hand.
Cover against lead timeFree stock running down, day by day
The blue line is free stock falling at the forecast rate. The dashed marker is the earliest a supplier delivery could land. Where the line reaches zero first, the depot is short and no amount of ordering on the day it happens will fix it.
Twelve months of demandMSC East — Brentwood
One-off month Jun 26 ran 91 per cent above the run rate, one month only. Read as a site mobilisation, excluded from the forecast.
Eight weeks aheadForecast inside its confidence band
Bio Hazard runs at 92 per cent of an average month now and 106 per cent next month, which the forecast already carries.
