Statistical Inventory Control (SIC) is an inventory-controlled order system designed to maintain stock levels based on predefined thresholds, rather than being demand-driven like EP (Enterprise Planning). Since SIC relies on inventory levels, it may lead to higher stock levels. To minimize financial risks, SIC is best suited for:

• Low-cost items.
• Items with predictable demand or short lead times.

Applications of SIC

• Low-Cost Items: Particularly effective for inexpensive goods.
• Predictable Demand or Short Lead Time: Suitable when demand patterns are stable or lead times are minimal.
• Warehouse-Specific Planning: Useful for planning by warehouse rather than across the supply chain.
• Trading Industries: Commonly employed in sectors like supermarkets.
• Immediate Demands: Effective for items required immediately by customers.
• Ease of Use: Simple to implement and manage.
