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 108 free, which is 13 days of cover against a forecast of 8.4 a day. PAL needs 14 days on the assumed lead time, none is on record and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 176 units. MSC East — Brentwood can release 105 without going short, so move 68 on tomorrow's trunk run and buy nothing.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham runs out on 09/09/2026, which is 13 days. PAL needs 14 days to deliver. That is about £725 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 9 per cent of the mean, which is what sets the confidence on this line.
Eight weeks aheadForecast inside its confidence band
Microfibre & Cloths runs at 95 per cent of an average month now and 108 per cent next month, which the forecast already carries.
The calculationEvery figure the engine used, in the order it used it
| Step | Why | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Free stock at the depot | 123 on hand less 15 already allocated to orders | 108 |
| Open purchase orders inbound | Nothing on the water | 0 |
| Position the engine works from | Free stock plus what is already inbound | 108 |
| Forecast demand a day | Eight weeks ahead, seasonally shaped, one-off months excluded | 8.36 |
| Lead-time demand | 8.36 a day for 14 days from PAL, assumed because no lead time is on record | 117 |
| Safety stock, class A | Class A carries 7 days of cover for the variability this line shows | 59 |
| Target position | Lead-time demand plus safety stock | 176 |
| Shortfall | Target position less the position now, which is why this line is on the queue | 68 |
| Rounded to the supplier multiple | PAL ships in cases of 6 | 0 |

Confidence is 67 per cent because demand varies by 9 per cent month to month and the supplier record carries no lead time so fourteen days was assumed.
