Safety stock
Safety stock is an additional quantity of inventory held as a buffer against demand volatility or supply chain disruptions. D365 uses master planning to maintain these levels to ensure service levels are never compromised.
How do you configure safety stock to prevent manufacturing stockouts in D365?
Maintaining safety stock is the primary strategy for shielding your organization from the "shocks" of an unpredictable supply chain, providing a reliable buffer that ensures you can fulfill customer orders even when your vendors are late or your demand surges unexpectedly. D365 automates this by adjusting your procurement orders to keep these levels topped up.
If your manufacturing is constantly suffering from material shortages, your safety stock levels are either nonexistent or tuned to a reality that no longer exists. We help you analyze your historical demand variability and lead-time risks, allowing you to configure safety stock levels that are optimized for your actual business, not just a "guesstimate."
Maintaining optimized inventory buffers demands dedicated, proactive technology management. Engaging an experienced technical team under a professional Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management contract guarantees that your inventory health remains fully performant.
