What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC West — Feltham holds 0 free, which is under a day of cover against a forecast of 7.9 a day. Portwest Clothing needs 18 days and class B carries 10 days of safety stock, so the target position is 221 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 230 from Portwest Clothing.
Do nothing and MSC West — Feltham is already out, so every order for this line goes short until something arrives. That is about 142 units of demand across the lead time. That is about £265 of sales at risk on this line alone.

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.
