Calculate usage first
Track weekly or monthly consumption by product. A new origin may have unstable demand, so early forecasts should include conservative assumptions.
Include the full replenishment cycle
Supplier preparation, sample approval, booking, transit, customs and warehouse release all affect reorder timing. The buyer needs enough inventory to cover that cycle plus a reasonable buffer.
Watch coffee age
More stock is not always safer. Green coffee changes during storage, so inventory policy should balance continuity with freshness and warehouse conditions.
