Reorder point
A reorder point is a stock threshold used to prompt replenishment, based on expected demand during lead time and any safety stock.
What to review
- Use a consistent demand unit
- Check realistic lead time
- Include an agreed safety buffer
- Review open orders and available stock
A simple example
Illustrative numbers: 4 units per day over a 5-day lead time, plus 6 buffer units, gives a 26-unit reorder point. Review the assumptions when demand or supply changes.
