BioHygiene Urinal & Toilet Cleaner 1L
LiveWatchToday: NETSTOCK, hand-keyed into BC
Replaces: a NETSTOCK spreadsheet row with no working shown
What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC West — Feltham holds 16 free, which is 2 days of cover against a forecast of 7.3 a day. Bio Hygiene needs 3 days and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 74 units. MSC East — Brentwood can release 128 without going short, so move 58 on tomorrow's trunk run and buy nothing.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 29/08/2026, which is 2 days. Bio Hygiene needs 3 days to deliver. That is about £78 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 West — Feltham
One-off month Apr 26 ran 104 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.
