Question
What do you mean by Reorder Point? How it is calculated?

Reorder point = Usage Rate Lead × Time
Example: Suppose a company uses 15 units of an item per day (usage rate, and the order lead time is 10 days, a new order must be placed when the inventory level reaches 150 units
(Reorder point 150 = Usage Rate 15 × 10) so that inventory is replenished before a stock out occurs.
