A 10-week forecast
Fontana is entering its low season and stock covers more than three weeks.
Tempo Espresso runs out before the end of next week, while demand is rising.
Demand for Festa more than doubles in December, and stock covers only a week and a half.
Double Seven stays steady until the holidays, with a peak in Christmas week.

The order is the forecast plus a 10% buffer, less stock, rounded up to a full pack. It’s a proposal; you place the orders.
The brands and figures in the example are imaginary.
Today
Orders are placed by eye: some items run out at the height of the season, others sit in the warehouse.
