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 West — Feltham holds 22 free with 10 already inbound, which is 3 days of cover against a forecast of 11.0 a day. Selden Research needs 21 days and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 308 units. MSC East — Brentwood can release 44, so move 44 first and buy the remaining 240 from Selden Research.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 29/08/2026, which is 2 days. Selden Research needs 21 days to deliver. That is about £1,737 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.
