MSC West — Feltham holds 188 free with 13 already inbound, which is 18 days of cover against a forecast of 11.4 a day. Mirius needs 16 days and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 263 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 70 from Mirius.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 12/09/2026, which is 16 days. Mirius needs 16 days to deliver. That is about £4,646 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.
