What is Replenishment?
Last updated July 2026
Definition
Replenishment is the process of reordering stock to maintain target service levels. How it's triggered — min/max, reorder point, kanban, or optimized — determines how much excess it creates.
Good replenishment reflects real demand, lead time, and criticality per item. Blanket rules are simple but generate the excess that later becomes dead stock.
Automating replenishment lets policies stay tuned continuously instead of drifting.
