Determining appropriate levels of stock across a business can be very challenging. If you carry too much inventory, you risk tying-up much needed working capital. But if you don’t carry enough, you face stock-outs and reduced service levels. An important piece of this puzzle is to accurately calculate safety stock levels. Safety stock is defined as inventory that is carried to prevent stock-outs caused by fluctuating customer demand, forecast inaccuracies or variability in supplier lead times.
