We need to reorder our Stainless Water Bottle (SKU-550). Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ). Supplier offers a 12% price break at 5,000 units. Is it worth buying the higher tier?

Economic Order Quantity & Discount Analysis for SKU-550:

• Annual Demand Velocity: 18,000 units/year (~1,500 units/month).
• Standard EOQ (Baseline): 2,800 units @ $9.50/unit = $26,600.
• Volume Tier Option: 5,000 units @ $8.36/unit (12% Discount) = $41,800.

Financial ROI Comparison:
• Purchasing 5,000 units saves $5,700.00 in raw COGS.
• Additional Warehouse Holding Cost (3.3 months inventory): $640.00.
• Net Profit Advantage: +$5,060.00.

Recommendation: Proceed with the 5,000 unit order. Fits exactly into a 20ft shipping container (FCL), saving an extra $820 on ocean freight consolidation.

Draft PO #PO-8829 ($41,800) Container Load Plan: 98% Utilized

Marketing just scheduled a sitewide Labor Day promotional blast. Expected traffic surge is 2.5x. Are our top 10 bestselling bundles sufficiently stocked?

Stress-tested inventory against a 2.5x Labor Day Demand Surge:

• 8 Bundles Safe: Buffer stock will comfortably cover projected 5-day promotional run.
• Bundle #3 (Skincare Starter Kit): CRITICAL STOCKOUT RISK. Component Bottle (30ml Amber Glass, SKU-GL-30) will deplete on Day 2 of promotion.
• Component Bottleneck: Only 840 bottles on hand; projected demand is 2,100 units.

Mitigation Solution:
• Local backup supplier (Oceanside Packaging) located with 2,000 units available on 48-hour courier dispatch.
• PO staged to close component deficit before sale begins.
