• Assumptions:– Daily demand is different day by day.– When the supply is replenished the number of
days it takes for the replenishment to arrive varies.
– Therefore, we have variable demand and a variable replenishment cycle.

In Our Original Formula…
• We used 1 standard deviation.
• Standard deviation of daily sales was 20
• The standard deviation of the replenishment rate was 1.634
In Our New Formula…
• We will use the standard deviation times 1.6
• Standard deviation of daily sales was 20
• The standard deviation of the replenishment rate was 1.634
• Therefore, we multiply 20 by 1.6 = 32.
• And 1.634 by 1.6 = 2.6144
