Would a lot-and-expiry inventory view make small-batch replenishment easier to plan?
A local inventory worksheet links SKU, lot, expiry, stock on hand and owner-entered lead time to a review-only reorder flag.
What we could measure together
Measure: Orders delayed by unavailable stock (percent).
Agree eligible work, observation window, quality threshold and exclusions with the owner before comparing.
Acceptance boundary: Use confirmed inventory; do not predict shelf life or product safety.
