The point at which a business orders more of a product before inventory gets too low is:
A
Stockout
B
Buffer stock
C
Anticipation stock
D
Reorder point
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The reorder point (ROP) is the minimum number of units that a business needs to have in stock to prevent stock outs and ensure order fulfillment. Once inventory levels reach the reorder point, this triggers the replenishment process to reorder that item.

Detailed explanation-2: -The reorder point (ROP) is the minimum inventory or stock level for a specific product that triggers the reordering of more inventory when reached. When calculating the reorder points for different SKUs, the lead time it will take to replenish inventory is factored in to ensure inventory levels don’t reach zero.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reorder level formula is that inventory level at which an entity should issue a purchase order to replenish the amount on hand. When calculated correctly, the reorder level should result in replenishment inventory arriving just as the existing inventory quantity has declined to zero.
