  • Statistical Safety Stock : This method sets the target stock to the cumulated demand forecast from current date up to the number of days set as Lead Time plus Next Review Time. It considers the Target Service Level (Target SL %) and Volatility (Volatility %) in the calculation too.

  • End of Life : This method sets the target stock to the cumulated demand forecast from current date up to the end of life date. It considers the Target Service Level (Target SL %) and Volatility (Volatility %) in the calculation too.

• Minimum : This method sets the target stock to the minimum of the active Target Stock methods (excluding End of Life).

• Maximum : This method sets the target stock to the maximum of the active Target Stock methods (excluding End of Life).

• Sum : This method sets the target stock to the sum of the active Target Stock methods (excluding End of Life).

• Minimum : This replenishment method calculates the RUTL to the minimum of the active RUTL methods.

• Maximum : This replenishment method calculates the RUTL to the maximum of the active RUTL methods.

• Sum : This replenishment method calculates the RUTL to the sum of the active RUTL methods.

Table 20-2 Within Condition Operator Measure Available Operators

Possible Operators	Descriptions	Example
==	Checks if the attribute value is equal with the Condition Value	brand == Private Label
!=	Checks if the attribute value is different from the Condition Value	average sales != 0
>	Checks if the attribute value is larger than the Condition Value	Average sales >5
>=	Checks if the attribute value is larger or equal to the Condition Value
<	Checks if the attribute value is less than the Condition Value	Standard deviation of sales <6
⇐	Checks if the attribute value is less or equal to the Condition Value
contain
not contain
match
not match

Condition Value

The Condition Value measure is used when the type of the attribute is numeric. Example: average sales > 10

Condition Value String

The Condition Value String measure is used when the type of the attribute is a string. Example: brand == Private Label

Condition Value Measure

The value of the Condition Value measure is a measure name, which is populated by an expression that let’s you refine the condition value. For instance private label versus nonprivate label.

This measure is used when you want to refine the condition value.

For instance, for the coffee items, except Private Label, you want to assign items to the rule that sell more than 50 per week. For Private Label items you may want the value to be 100. You need to populate your Condition measure with a value of 100 for all Private Label items, and the rest of the coffee items with 50.

Condition Value Date

The Condition Value Date measure is used when the type of the attribute is a date. Example: today >= 02/30/2024”

Between Condition Operator

Within a rule there can be multiple conditions and also multiple condition groups. This is specified in the Condition Group measure. Conditions with the same Condition Group value belong to the same group.

For example, if a rule has 4 conditions, Conditions 1 and 2 can belong to condition group 1, and conditions 3 and 4 can belong to the condition group 2. Also, the Condition Order measure gives the ranking of the conditions inside the group.

The following table is an assumed use case:

Table 20-3 Between Condition Operator Assumed Use Case

Condition	Between Condition Operator	Condition Order	Condition Group
Condition 1	AND	1	1
Condition 2	OR	2	1
Condition 3	OR	3	2
Condition 4		4	2

The value for the Between Condition Operator can be the logical operators AND or OR.

The conditions are evaluated first inside a condition group and then between groups. In the previous case, the resulting condition is:

(Condition 1 AND Condition 2) OR (Condition 3 OR Condition 4)

Here is an example where all conditions belong to the same condition group:

Table 20-4 Example: All Conditions Belong to the Same Condition Group

Condition	Between Condition Operator	Condition Order	Condition Group
Condition 1	AND	1	1
Condition 2	OR	2	1
Condition 3	OR	3	1
Condition 4		4	1

The resulting condition for the rule is given by:

Condition 1 AND Condition 2 OR Condition 3 OR Condition 4

Note that the conditions are evaluated in the order given by the values in the Condition Order measure.

Condition Order

The Condition Order measure displays the order in which conditions are evaluated, wither independently or inside a condition group.

Condition Group

The Condition Group measure allows you to group conditions. This is useful when you want to evaluate conditions in a two-step process. First, the conditions are evaluated inside groups. In the second step, the group results are evaluated .

Validation Result

The Validation Result measure displays the condition expressions that are validated.

Invalid Flag

This profile displays a subset of measures from the default profile. It focuses on the inventory planning parameters measures only. All other parameter related measures are left out of the visible measures. Replenishment: This profile displays a subset of measures from the default profile. It focuses on the replenishment parameters measures only. All other parameter related measures are left out of the visible measures.

Minimum Pack Fill Rate 2 (Dst) %

Minimum Pack Fill Rate 2 (Distribute) Percentage is an editable measure used to define the minimum pack fill rate percentage for second round of complex pack assignment.

Note

The fill rate is defined as: Fill rate = sum of the need of all components of the pack / sum of components of the pack

LAR sorts the pack configuration from the largest to smallest, then pick the best pack with fill rate greater than or equal to Min Pack Fill Rate 1. If it does not satisfy this condition then it looks for the next pack configuration and compare it to Min Pack Fill Rate 2. If there is no pack that has minimum pack fill rate of 1 and 2 then it switches to allocating by eaches.

The lower the percentage the higher the chance to allocate more than the need.

For instance, if the Minimum Pack Fill Rate is set to 100%, LAR will fit as many packs as possible without overallocating, and the remaining need is allocated with eaches. If the Minimum Pack Fill Rate is set to 0%, LAR will allocate only packs, very likely overallocating. It will allocate eaches only if the pack inventory is exhausted.
