Reorder Point Calculator / Calcolatore Punto di Riordino

A reorder point (or "punto di riordino" in Italian) is the inventory level at which you should place a new order to replenish stock before running out. It's crucial for preventing stockouts, maintaining customer satisfaction, and optimizing cash flow by ensuring you order at the right time.

The reorder point formula is: Reorder Point = (Average Daily Sales × Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock. For example, if you sell 10 units per day, have a 7-day lead time, and maintain 20 units of safety stock, your reorder point is (10 × 7) + 20 = 90 units.

Safety stock is buffer inventory kept to protect against demand variability and supply delays. The reorder point includes safety stock but also accounts for the inventory consumed during the lead time. Safety stock is a component of the reorder point calculation.

You should recalculate your reorder point whenever there are significant changes in your average daily sales, supplier lead times, or demand variability. For most businesses, quarterly reviews are recommended, but seasonal businesses may need monthly adjustments.
