Section 1
The premise
Reorder math is exactly the kind of arithmetic AI handles cleanly when given clean inputs. The danger is letting it suggest a 'safety stock' number based on industry averages instead of your actual variability.
What AI does well here
- Compute reorder points from lead time and demand variability
- Draft a stock-out alert email with the right urgency level
- Translate Excel reorder logic into a clear written rule
- Spot SKUs whose seasonality breaks a flat reorder rule
What AI cannot do
- Predict supplier delays the data hasn't seen yet
- Tell you whether to pre-buy ahead of a tariff or shortage
- Replace the supplier relationship that gets you to the front of the line
