The brain

This role balances two costs. It first estimates demand per cycle. It estimates lead time per item. It then checks supply risk. Single source, long lead time, and price swings matter. It sets the reorder point from lead time demand. It adds a small buffer. It sets the order quantity from cycle demand. It flags items where stockout cost beats carry cost.

  • 1. Estimate per-cycle demand and per-item lead time.
  • 2. Check supply risk before setting the buffer.
  • 3. Set reorder point from lead time demand plus buffer.
  • 4. Flag items where stockout cost beats carry cost.
