What is safety stock?
Safety stock (also called buffer stock) is the extra inventory you hold above your average expected demand. It absorbs variability: unexpected demand spikes or delays from suppliers.
Without safety stock, any deviation from the average results in a stockout. With too much, you tie up capital in slow-moving inventory. The formula below finds the right balance.
