Safety stock
The minimum level of stock that must always be present in the management of a warehouse to protect against the difference between expected consumption and actual consumption and between expected delivery and actual delivery times. This therefore helps to protect against stock-outs during the replenishment process.
Saturation
The level of occupancy of a structure or of equipment, which must be maximized in order to optimize its use. This value is usually expressed as a percentage.
