Static safety stock is a working capital trap. It locks cash in inventory to cover worst-case historical scenarios, creating excess during stable periods and failing during volatility. This workflow automates the continuous recalculation of safety stock parameters at each node—DC, store, supplier—using real-time signals of forecast error, lead time variability, and actual service-level performance. The operational upside is a direct reduction in inventory carrying costs while protecting or improving target fill rates, turning safety stock from a fixed cost into a dynamic risk buffer.
