Daily Usage (Units) | Formula (calculated from last 30 days in Sheet 3) | Average units used per day | | Forecasted Demand (Next 7 Days) | Formula (=Avg. Daily Usage × 7) | | Min Stock Level Required (Safety + Lead Time Usage) | Formula (=Safety Stock + (Avg. Daily Usage × Lead Time Days)) | | Reorder Quantity (EOQ Model) | Formula using EOQ formula: √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost / Holding Cost per Unit per Year) | | Recommended Order Date | Formula (=Today + Lead Time Days – 1, conditionally updated) |4.
