Inventory Replenishment Cycle overview

Automates the inventory replenishment decision process -- analyzing real-time point-of-sale velocity data against safety-stock thresholds, running demand-forecasting models incorporating seasonality and promotional calendars, generating purchase orders based on supplier lead-time constraints, optimizing order quantities against warehouse capacity and minimum-order requirements, and triggering cross-dock or store-transfer recommendations for imbalanced stock. Produces replenishment orders, demand forecast variance reports, and stockout-risk dashboards. Excludes supplier contract negotiation.
