How this is calculated
Par = weekly usage ÷ 7 × (days between deliveries + lead time) × (1 + safety), rounded up.
Order = par − on hand, never below zero. Days cover = on hand ÷ daily usage. Under the lead time means you run out before the truck comes.
Yearly leak = value of stock above par × holding cost. Cash on a shelf is not working for you.
Prices are before GST/HST. Add tax on top of the price shown, never inside your margin. Estimates, not advice.
