Service level

How often you want to avoid running out of a product while waiting for a new order to arrive.

A 95% service level means you'd expect to avoid running out during about 95 of every 100 reorder cycles. Higher service levels need more safety stock, so the right number depends on how costly a stockout is for each product.
