We've had some questions arise here on what method of equation we should 
be using to calculate safety stock.  Would you mind sharing what you use? 
Currently we use this at the end of the month:  Safety Stock = Sum of 12 
the last 12 months deviations from the 12 month average /12 x 2 xSQRT(Lead 
Time/21).

TIA,

Bob.
