Cascadia Surgical — Inventory Health & Working Capital
Simulated data
Cascadia Surgical is a fictional brand and every number on this page is simulated; all values at standard cost. It is a purpose-built synthetic inventory ledger with planted problems to find.
What to look for
- A distribution center quietly piling up stock a demand step-down can’t justify
- A product line that came within days of a stockout — and is heading that way again
- A safety-stock decision you can see land in the stock line
- A line-site sitting comfortably inside its own policy band while carrying most of the portfolio’s excess — a band sized for demand that stepped down and was never retuned
- A slow mover that stopped moving entirely, then got partially written off
- A projection that stops pretending exactly where the data ends — and the four line-sites it flags
- A handful of line-sites carrying almost all of the demand value, and the rest carrying the cover
59.7 days of supply · portfolio close
- On-hand units, all sites
Total on-hand units across all 36 line-and-site cells, sampled weekly and stepped, because a closing balance holds until the next one. The sawtooth is the replenishment cycle: stock drawn down by demand, receipts landing to rebuild it. How much of that standing height protects service and how much only consumes cash is the question the demo answers.
