Detailed explanation-1: -Maximum Level: It is the quantity of materials beyond which a firm should not exceed its stocks. If the quantity exceeds maximum level limit then it will be termed as overstocking. A firm avoids overstocking because it will result in high material costs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calculating maximum inventory levels To calculate maximum inventory levels, use the following formula: maximum inventory levels = reorder point + reorder quantity – [minimum consumption × minimum lead time].
Detailed explanation-3: -The “Min” value represents a stock level that triggers a reorder and the “Max” value represents a new targeted stock level following the reorder. The difference between the Max and the Min is frequently interpreted as the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity).
Detailed explanation-4: -What is Maximum Stock Level? The maximum stock level is a not-to-exceed amount used for inventory planning. This stock level is based on a calculation of the cost of storage, standard order quantities, and the risk of inventory becoming obsolete or spoiling with the passage of time.
