Several factors can affect the reorder point, including:
Demand Variability: Fluctuations in customer demand can necessitate adjustments to the reorder point to avoid stockouts or overstocking. Lead Time Variability: Unpredictable lead times from suppliers can impact the timing of reorder points. Supplier Reliability: Reliable suppliers can reduce the need for high safety stock, while unreliable suppliers might require a higher safety stock. Seasonality: Seasonal variations in demand can affect how reorder points are set throughout the year.
