Min‑Max is an inventory management method that uses two key thresholds to control replenishment.
Min (Minimum Level): The lowest acceptable inventory level—when stock falls to or below this point, a replenishment order is triggered.
Max (Maximum Level): The target inventory level you replenish up to once a reorder is placed.
In other words: When stock ≤ Min → reorder enough to reach Max.
This method ensures products do not drop below the minimum needed to cover demand (often including safety stock) while also preventing excess inventory and overstock.
