Cycle Stock
Inventory Management
Cycle Stock
Inventory that exists because items are ordered or produced in batches rather than continuously.
Examples
- 01Producing 2,000 brackets once a month instead of 500 every week creates cycle stock of about 1,000 parts on average.
- 02The warehouse review shows cycle stock by item and location, separate from safety stock, to explain where inventory comes from.
- 03Cutting batch sizes in half through faster changeovers reduces cycle stock by EUR 150,000 without any loss of service.
