Replaces: a NETSTOCK spreadsheet row with no working shown
What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC West — Feltham holds 56 free, which is 12 days of cover against a forecast of 4.8 a day. Scot Young Research needs 7 days and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 68 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 20 from Scot Young Research.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 07/09/2026, which is 12 days. Scot Young Research needs 7 days to deliver. That is about £213 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
No one-off month found in the last year. Variability is 12 per cent of the mean, which is what sets the confidence on this line.
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.
