Replenishment and forecast

Order before it runs out. Not before it piles up.

From sales, stock, incoming goods and lead time, MERA calculates coverage and from it a reorder proposal per article. The method is described openly and measured against actual sales; releasing an order stays with a person.

What goes into a proposal

Demand over recent months, seasonal swings, today's stock, goods already ordered and the supplier's lead time. Out of that comes coverage in days — and the question of when to reorder so that nothing runs out.

Measured, not believed

A forecast nobody checks is an opinion. MERA measures its proposals in hindsight against real sales; changes to the method are adopted only when they do better in that measurement.

• Coverage per article in days
• A proposal with quantity, supplier and date
• Different routes: a parcel and a pallet have different times
• Supplier minimums and price breaks
• Released by hand, never ordered automatically
