Measure a normal period
Record kilograms used over five to ten working days. Avoid unusual periods and keep separate figures for departments with different activities.
- Kilograms per day
- Working days per month
- Separate use by department
Convert usage into bales
Multiply daily average by monthly working days. Divide the result by bale weight and round up. With 10 kg bales, 145 kg requires 15 bales.
- Monthly use = kg/day × days
- Bales = monthly kg ÷ kg/bale
- Always round up
Add a controlled reserve
A 10–20% reserve can cover variation and delays, but review it every month. Frequent deliveries may allow a smaller reserve.
- Reserve matched to lead time
- Minimum replenishment level
- Monthly review
