| Particulars | Formula | Calculation | Amount |
| Reorder Level | Maximum usages * maximum delivery time | 500 Units * 5 Days | 2500 |
| Safety Stock | (Maximum usages * maximum delivery time)-(Average usages * Average delivery time) | (500 * 5) - (450*5) | 250 |
| Reorder point with safety stock | 2500+250 | 2750 |
