      Inventory evolution

      The Inventory chart can be checked at product and lot level. It displays the number of units in stock over time.

      The inventory for a specific product or lot at tn is computed as:

      Inventory tn = Inventory tn-1 + Net input - Consumed - Transformed - Expired

      Where

      • Net input: manufactured product quantity

      • Consumed: product quantity allocated to a demand

      • Transformed: product quantity used in the manufacturing process of another product

      • Expired: product quantity for which the expiry date was before tn
      02

      When selecting a lot, both the chart and the left table are adapted to this level of granularity. The left table then answers an additional question: Where does my finished product come from?

      03

      The Inventory chart answers the following questions:

      • Until when am I safe with my current inventory?

      • Until when am I safe if some of the lots are not produced?

       

      Supply vs Need

      The Supply vs Need chart is only available at product level.

      04

      It will help you answer the following questions:

      • Which time margin do I have between release date and transformation/consumption?

      • Which quantity margin do I have between release and transformation/consumption?
