Question

Safety Stock - What is safety stock and what is its purpose?

Answer

The purpose of keeping a buffer stock of an item in inventory is to lessen the likelihood that it may run out of supply. In the event that sales are higher than anticipated or if the supplier is unable to provide the extra units by the specified date, it serves as a safety stock.
