Stockout-adjusted velocity — a sell-out no longer shrinks your next order
Your best sellers are the products most likely to run out, and that used to work against them. While a product is out of stock it sells nothing, and those zero days dragged its average down, so the next suggested order came out too small and it ran out again. Demand Planning now has Adjust for out-of-stock days: a forecast measures each product's velocity over the days it could sell, not every day on the calendar. It's on for every new forecast.
