Causes of infeasibility in Safety Stock Optimization

There are a number of conditions that can result in infeasibility when running Safety Stock Optimization. These conditions include:

• Missing inventory policies.
• Minimum Service Time conflict, which can cause negative coverage. The Minimum Service Time is found in the Inventory Policies table.
• Non-stocking at customer-facing facilities. By default, customer-facing facilities have zero service time to the customer, so they must hold stock.
• Minimum Safety Stock and Maximum Safety Stock constraints, which can cause conflicts with service requirements. The Minimum Safety Stock and Maximum Safety Stock fields are found in the Inventory Policies table.
