Re-supply time is understood as the period from the shipment of the order until the physical availability of the goods.
Brief description
The average re-sourcing time is calculated by adding the time required for order preparation (e.g., ordering and transferring the order to the supplier), delivery (e.g., order preparation, production time, transportation time, etc.), and the span of time between the arrival of the goods until the goods are available at the point of demand. Re-supply time and consumption are central determinants in the selection of security resources.
Model
Average re-stocking time [days] = average order preparation time + average delivery time + average time to inspect, store and make the goods available
