Stockout Rate

Stockout rate is the percentage of times a product is unavailable when a customer or production process needs it. A high stockout rate signals gaps in inventory planning, leading to lost sales, customer attrition, and — in manufacturing — costly production delays. Tracking this metric helps businesses understand how reliably their inventory meets demand.
