Average usage of a raw material is 200kg per day
Average lead time is 5 days
Reoder level is 1600kg
Reorder quantity is 2800kg
What is the average raw material inventory?
Please please help and explain what formula to use.

6y ago#1If stock is ordered when it falls to 1600 kg, then takes 5 days to arrive (lead time), stock will fall to 1600 - 5 x 200 = 600 units.
Think of them 600 units as always being there then in come 2800, the quantity reordered. These are gradually used so you can think of 2800/2 = 1400 of them there in average.
Overall, the average lecel of inventory will therefore be 600 + 1400 = 2000 units.
Thank you very much sir.
