buffer inventory means excess inventory the one you will choose depends on the question you have been asked let’s solve this question together 1.for a particular component the reorder quantity is 6000 units and average inventory holding is 3400 units what is the level of safety inventory solution: average inventory =safety inventory +reorder quantity/2 3400=x+6000/2. x= 400 that’s the excess inventory we have
