Inventory: certification questions & answers

Inventory

Reordering (min/max):   order qty = MAX − forecasted         (when forecast ≤ MIN)
   e.g. on hand 10, forecast 5, min 10 max 40 → order 35

Delivery "Based on Rules":   cost = rule price × (1 + margin %) + extra margin
   e.g. order $55, rule ">$50 = $0", margin 25 %, +$8 → 0 × 1.25 + 8 = $8

Work-center time:   cycles = CEIL(qty / capacity);   time = cycles × cycle time
   e.g. capacity 3, 4 units, 10 min → 2 cycles = 20 min
