Inventory & availability

What is weeks of cover (WOC)?

How many weeks your current stock will last at the current rate of sale.

Why it matters: The simplest stock-health signal. Too few and you stock out; too many and cash is tied up and markdown risk builds.

How it's worked out: WOC = stock on hand ÷ average weekly unit sales. (1,200 ÷ 150 = 8 weeks)
