Let us prepare an inventory system for EG151 exhaust gasket: First we sum up the gasket sales/demand for the 21 weeks that is given to us. This gives us a total of 2142 gaskets for 21 week period if we divide it by 21 we get average weekly sales of 102 gaskets. As the lead time for gaskets is two weeks we multiply this quantity by 2 and we get a figure of 204. We take a safety stock level of one week as this is the half of the lead time and we add this to the figure of 204 and we get a
