What is Intermittent demand?
Intermittent demand is a pattern of many zero-sales periods broken by occasional, irregular orders.
Spare parts and slow-moving niche products behave this way. Ordinary averages and bell-curve safety stock misjudge them; methods such as Croston, SBA and TSB are designed for the pattern.
How Stokrio handles it
Stokrio includes Croston, SBA and TSB among its models and uses a simulation approach for safety stock on lumpy products.
