New low inventory levels

Fulfillment by Amazon Deciphering Amazon’s inventory management
,
1

I finally dove in to this this week. I read through the forum and the links that brought back to Amazon. I want to be sure I understand this new policy and act accordingly. I am in the handmade space so I need to get cracking on making new items OR pull back from FBA and go FBM as I have many SKUs
So this is saying item 1 has 14.5 days of supplies, and I MUST have over 28 days, right? And the last one I have 31.5 days so technically I am good.

page.

Assuming I am right, where is the recommended levels I should maintain? are these them? first item they want 60 items at all times? 2nd item, 40 at all times, etc?

If this is correct, what do you think I should have as a surplus? 20, 30, 10%? this is the part I cannot figure out.

Our thought would be …

Min-level + Historical Quantity Sold per 60 or 90 day rolling period ( the 60 or 90 day rolling period would be determined by the historical time you experience in getting items into FBA )

In other words … enough to cover Min-level plus historical sales (projected) for the period until you are sending in the next batch to FBA.

Agree, although you would think that Amazon would make an exception for Handmade with this policy because… handmade… There’s still time.
