StockOpt AI
Safety stock and reorder points from your own variability, not a rule of thumb.
What it produces
- Recommended safety stock and reorder point per material, formula shown
- Demand and lead-time variability, measured from your history
- Expected service-level impact of each change
- Inventory reduction available at the service level you actually want
A worked example
RM-4410 — safety stock 2,100 KG → 1,340 KG
demand σ 318 KG/month · lead time 24 days, σ 5.1 days
service level 97.5% → z = 1.96
= 1,340 KG, holding 97.5% cover rather than the 99.4% you hold today
→ ₹1,28,000 released, service level unchanged in practice

Why it is hard
The part that is not a report.
Safety stock set by a rule of thumb — three weeks of cover, or whatever the last person used — is either money standing still or a stockout waiting for its month. The right number depends on how much demand varies, how much the supplier's lead time varies, and what service level you actually want. The second of those is the one usually ignored: lead time is not a constant, and treating it as one is why a formula that looks correct produces a reorder point that fails in exactly the month it mattered.

Said before you ask
What is not finished.
BETA rather than AVAILABLE. Review policy, review period, order minimum, pack size and a nullable unit cost all import through the materials template now, so a recommendation is a shippable quantity rather than a mathematical one and an uncosted material can be told from a free one. The engine refuses a material whose review policy nobody has stated rather than assuming continuous review — so a tenant who does not fill that column gets stated refusals, which is correct and will look like the module not working until somebody reads them.
Where this sits
One of 16 modules, on one engine.
StockOpt AI reads the same reconciled data as everything else SIAARU runs — connected read-only to your ERP, scored on the way in, measured in SQL. How that engine works is a page of its own. The other 15 modules, each with the state it is really in and the reason where it is not switched on, are on the module list; what this one costs, and what it costs beside the rest, is on the pricing page.
