Methodology, assumptions and limitations
DOS = on-hand inventory ÷ average daily demand

Excess = max(0, on hand − daily demand × target DOS). Turns = annual COGS ÷ average inventory.

Responsible interpretation

Inventory above target indicates exposure worth reviewing. It does not automatically mean waste or obsolescence.

  • DOS depends on the demand horizon and pattern.
  • Use segmented targets by criticality, variability, and lead time.
  • Values are estimated from unit cost or implied average unit value.
