Thanks for the invitation,

Safety stock is the buffer stock which will cover any shortage or delay in delivery process or any unexpected unusual demand, therefore we should consider the following Factors while calculating the Buffer stock of any item:

  • Ordering cycling period for that particular item
  • Delivery lead time
  • At least last three months Consumptions
  • Seasonal Products
  • Sales Forecast or Production Plan.
  • Our Storing capacity.
  • Item lifetime

A safety stock is a safety stock,  You will need know the cycle of the item (daily withdraw) as well for the time of a new delivery from order point and make the calculation.
