BioHygiene Washroom & Floor Cleaner 1L Concentrate
LivePlannedWhat the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC West — Feltham holds 44 free, which is 7 days of cover against a forecast of 6.3 a day. Bio Hygiene needs 3 days and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 63 units. MSC East — Brentwood can release 29 without going short, so move 19 on tomorrow's trunk run and buy nothing.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 03/09/2026, which is 7 days. Bio Hygiene needs 3 days to deliver. That is about £225 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.
