One important metric for calculating the proportion of customer orders that are filled from available stock without delays or backorders is fill rate. While a low fill rate can indicate stockouts or inefficiencies in demand planning, a high fill rate shows good inventory management and customer satisfaction. Order fill rate (by order), line fill rate (by line item), and unit fill rate (by item quantity) are among the different kinds of fill rates. Accurate forecasting, sensible safety stock levels, and effective order fulfillment procedures are necessary to maintainoptimal fill rates.
