How to Set Reorder Levels

A reorder level is the on-hand quantity that should trigger replenishment. A practical formula is: (average daily demand × lead time in days) + safety stock. Set it per location when demand differs by store.

Safety stock is not guesswork forever

Start with a conservative buffer, then tighten using actual stockout history and supplier reliability. Sphereventory can surface low-stock and reorder suggestions from those levels.
