Key points

RebalanceMove stock from slow stores to fast ones before it's too late.
Protect the senderDon't leave the sending store below its own target.
Move sensiblyTransfers cost money, so move meaningful amounts.

Before transferring, check cover on both sides: after the move, both stores should be healthy.

Practice

Try each one in your head first, then open the answer.

1. Tap the store with the most stock it doesn't need.
Vancouver has 50 units more than its 4-week target.
2. After sending 30 units, how many weeks of cover does Vancouver have?
(150 − 30) ÷ 25 = 4.8 weeks
