Safety stock refers to extra stock level that is maintained in order to eliminate the risk of shortage of stocks because supply and demand may vary. Safety stock is calculated based on the lead time and demand. Lead time refers to the time when the order is placed or produced till the time the item is ready for sale or delivery to the customers.

Since the lead time is unavailable, safety stock cannot be determined without the lead time data.
