Inventory Planning

Reorder points, cover targets and seasonal builds calculated from your own velocity, not a supplier's minimum order quantity.

The problem

What actually goes wrong

Purchase decisions get made against cash flow and MOQ rather than demand, so the catalogue ends up simultaneously out of stock and overstocked.

Why this matters. Inventory is the largest number on most seller balance sheets and the least modelled.

What each step involves
Business outcomes

What changes.

Stated as changes in how the business runs, because those are the ones we control.

01

Availability held

Through the periods that matter most.

02

Working capital freed

Less cash sitting in slow SKUs.

03

Fewer emergencies

Air freight as a choice, not a rescue.

04

A model you keep

The planning sheet stays yours.

Every recommendation shows its arithmetic.

Reorder points derived from lead time and demand variance, not from a fixed weeks-of-cover rule.
