FAQ

What is a reorder level?

The stock level at which you place a new order so replenishment arrives before you run out: daily use × (lead time + safety days).

How much safety stock should a pharmacy hold?

Enough to cover demand variability and delays — commonly 7–15 days of consumption for fast-moving drugs.

Does this work in value or units?

This version works in rupee value across the basket; for critical single items, compute in units with the same logic.
