We have daily sales variation from 60 to 140 cases. We have replenishment rate variability from 7 to 13 days. We calculated that we would need 175 cases of safety stock to provide adequate inventory for…..Well, we can’t know how adequate that is, can we?
Yes, we can know.
Yes, we can know. By looking at service levels.
And by remembering that in our formula for finding safety stock we were working with 1 standard deviation for our daily sales and our replenishment rate.
We’ve seen this before: Standard deviation represents an average of how far observations are away from the mean.
There are certain characteristics of standard deviation in a normal distribution… We’ve seen this before:
We have a mean of x
We have a standard deviation of y
If we determine 1 standard deviation above and below the mean… We have a mean of x We have a standard deviation of y
If we determine 1 standard deviation above and below the mean… x+y = 1 standard deviation x-y = 1 standard deviation We have a standard deviation of y We have a mean of x
If we determine 1 standard deviation above and below the mean… x+y = 1 standard deviation x-y = 1 standard deviation We have a standard deviation of y We have a mean of x In a normal distribution about 68% of the observations will usually be within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
If we determine 1 standard deviation above and below the mean… x+y = 1 standard deviation x-y = 1 standard deviation We have a standard deviation of y We have a mean of x In a normal distribution about 68% of the observations will usually be within 1 standard deviation of the mean %
If we determine 1 standard deviation above and below the mean… x+y = 1 standard deviation x-y = 1 standard deviation We have a standard deviation of y We have a mean of x 68.26% 1 standard deviation of safety stock will give us an 84.13% service level.

Just figure 100%-68.26% = 31.74%, then divide 31.74% by 2

Just figure 100%-68.26% = 31.74%, then divide 31.74% by 2 = 15.87%

That’s how we know 175 cases of safety stock for our hypothetical company will provide us with enough stock 84% of the time.
Safety stock = Because when we calculated this formula, we were using 1 standard deviation. Mean of replenishment rate ( Standard deviation of daily sales ) plus Mean of daily sales squared ( 2 Standard deviation of replenishment rate ) 2
Safety stock = If we wanted higher service levels (and 84% is not very good), we would increase the standard deviation when we calculated the formula. Mean of replenishment rate ( Standard deviation of daily sales ) plus Mean of daily sales squared ( 2 Standard deviation of replenishment rate ) 2
