A well-designed and well-run super­mar­ket helps us deliv­er parts to inter­nal cus­tomers while keep­ing inven­to­ry lev­els low. How­ev­er, some­times there will be over­flows, so we need clear rules for what to do when we exceed our inven­to­ry max­i­mums. Learn the for­mu­la for cal­cu­lat­ing max­i­mum inven­to­ry lev­els in a super­mar­ket, typ­i­cal caus­es of inven­to­ry over­flows, and how to use the three tools for man­ag­ing overflows.
