This is a sophisticated but powerful tool designed for importers. The programs report evaluates each item's past sales history on either a weighted average or seasonal average basis (you decide which), per item. Using that evaluation, the program determines each items days of surplus and expected usage, taking into consideration: lead time; order cycle; current customer orders; open purchase orders; minimum allowable reorder quantity/lot sizes; and inventory on-hand count. Finally, taking all of that information into account, the program makes a recommendation as to how many of each item you should be reordering, and by what date. This is a must-have for the importer who needs to make critical purchasing decisions where past historical data (even seasonal history) should be considered when answering the question: How many should we be ordering now?
