LiveCriticalToday: NETSTOCK, hand-keyed into BC
Replaces: a NETSTOCK spreadsheet row with no working shown
What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC East — Brentwood holds 60 free, which is 6 days of cover against a forecast of 9.7 a day. Mirius needs 16 days and class B carries 10 days of safety stock, so the target position is 253 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 200 from Mirius.
Do nothing and MSC East — Brentwood runs out on 02/09/2026, which is 6 days. Mirius needs 16 days to deliver. That is about £251 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 141 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
Janitorial runs at 93 per cent of an average month now and 109 per cent next month, which the forecast already carries.

Confidence is 36 per cent because demand varies by 36 per cent month to month and a one-off month sits in the history. Below forty five per cent the engine asks for a manual review rather than a decision.
