Protection period = OI+LT b) What is the safety stock? c) What is the Target inventory level (T)? d) It’s time to place the next order. Current inventory on-hand is 140 bags, with no open orders or backorders. How many bags should be ordered this time? Note: Note the time units are given both in days and weeks.
