VISUAL INTERACTIVE APPLICATION FOR SAFETY STOCK MODELING

Abstract:

A safety stock modeling ("SSM") system is disclosed herein. The SSM system can provide users with the ability to visualize demand data and lead time data at the same time. The SSM system can include a user interface which allows the user to visualize data and manipulate the data. The SSM system provides a safety stock recommendation, which can be updated as the user manipulates the data. The SSM system can allow the user to visualize extreme values or outliers in the data, which can be excluded from the safety stock recommendation.
