Keywords:

Safety Stock Optimization, Dynamic Net Availability, Horizon-Based Feasibility Control, Demand Verification, Enterprise Resource Planning Integration

Abstract

Traditional safety stock methods implemented in enterprise resource planning systems rely on static, service-level-based formulas derived from historical demand variability, enforcing uniform inventory buffers across planning periods without explicitly evaluating future time-phased feasibility
