Approve for review: reorder 48 units of MUG today for USD 192. No new TOWEL order is needed. Review the proposal, then reassess inventory on day 7. No orders have been placed. SKU Net stock N Horizon H (days) Target T Receipts I Gap G Order Q Timing risk through H Spend MUG 70 12 140 30 40 48 No projected zero crossing USD 192 TOWEL 100 14 80 0 0 0 No projected zero crossing USD 0 Calculations use N=on-hand-commitments, H=L+7, T=dH+S, and G=(0,T-N-I). MUG: N=80-10=70; T=10×12+20=140; G=140-70-30=40. Pack rounding gives \(Q=12×\lceil\max(40,24)/12\rceil=48\), an 8-unit rounding surplus. TOWEL: T=5×14+10=80, below net stock of 100. Gap and order quantity are zero; MOQ does not trigger an unnecessary purchase. Timing is checked separately from quantity: MUG: Day 0 balance 70 → day 3 before/after existing receipt 40/70 → day 5 before/after proposed receipt 50/98 → day 12 balance 28. TOWEL: Day 0 balance 100 → day 7 balance 65 → day 14 balance 30. Neither SKU reaches zero or becomes negative within its protection horizon under the supplied steady demand and arrival dates. Routine replenishment is sufficient in this projection; no expedited rescue is indicated. The full policy basket costs 48 × USD 4 = USD 192, leaving USD 508 of the USD 700 cap. This includes all supplied incremental freight, fees, and tax; prepaid existing POs are not charged again. Commitments are deducted once, and forward demand excludes them. Receipts are usable at start of day as supplied. Safety stock remains your policy input, not a service-level guarantee. Approve the MUG proposal after checking that its day-5 usable arrival remains achievable, and review both SKUs again on day 7.
