Question 208
The trade-off of increasing safety stock to improve customer fill rate would be a decrease in:
Correct Answer: C
Increasing safety stock to improve customer fill rate would result in a decrease in inventory turns. Inventory turns, or inventory turnover, is a metric measuring how fast the inventory is replaced over time. It is calculated as the cost of goods sold divided by the average value of inventory during the period covered1. A higher inventory turnover ratio indicates that the company sells its inventoryquickly and efficiently, while a lower ratio implies that the company holds too much inventory or has difficulty selling it. Safety stock is an extra quantity of a product stored in the warehouse to prevent an out-of-stock situation. It serves as insurance against fluctuations in demand, longer lead times, and price fluctuations2. Increasing safety stock means increasing the average value of inventory, which lowers the inventory turnover ratio. This also increases the inventory carrying costs, such as storage, insurance, taxes, and obsolescence. Therefore, there is a trade-off between increasing safety stock to improve customer fill rate and decreasing inventory turns to reduce inventory costs3.
