{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"stockout","description":"Preventing a stockout is one of the primary objectives of inventory planning. A stockout occurs when available stock for an item falls below zero effective supply – current demand exists, but the product cannot be shipped. The item remains part of the product range; it is simply unavailable at that moment. Consequences range from delayed shipments and lost sales to reputational damage; for fast-moving consumer goods or production components, even a brief stockout can halt manufacturing lines.
