Re-order level is a level of material at which the storekeeper should initiate the purchase requisition for fresh supplies. When the stock-in-hand comes down to the re-ordering level, it is an indication that an action should be taken for replenishment or purchase.
The re-order level is calculated as follows:
Re-order Level= Minimum Level(Safety stock) +(Average lead time x Average consumption) OR Re-order Level= Maximum Consumption x Maximum Re-ordering Period
