Concept:

Reorder level is the inventory level at which a company should place a new order in order to maintain the stock for selling and running the business effectively.

Lead time represents the time gap between placing an order and when the order is received.

Reorder level (RoL) = Lead time × daily demand

Calculation:

Given:

The annual demand for item D = 2555 units, Lead time =  8 days

daily demand of item d = \(\frac{d}{365} = \frac{2555}{365}\)

= 7 units

Reorder level (RoL) = Lead time × daily demand

= 8 × 7 

= 56 units

Additional Information

  • The Economic order quantity or optimum quantity is the order quantity that minimizes the total holding cost and ordering cost in an inventory. At this point Holding cast is equal to ordering cast.
