Problem or Use Case

Users that work with medium to high volume production have an hard time understanding exactly how much filament is used per material type, and how long will current stock last. Give the volatility of stock and fluctuations in available first-party spools, it's important to keep into consideration lead times too.

Proposed Solution

Add a new Forecasting view to the Filament page (internal inventory only for now). This view groups similar spools together and shows

Current stock
Attrition rate (either via a historical trend or a weighted estimate if not enough data pints are present)
Days until depletion at current rates

The user can set a per-material or global lead times and safety margins. The system can alert of when to restock materials based on these factors, alert of possible ROPs, integrating with the notification system. The user can then add the spools to a shopping list , which will allow to track items marking them as purchased and then as received. Upon receival, the spools are added to the Stock category of the inventory automatically. The shopping list view also shows saw-tooth graphs that account for attrition rate, LT, and safety margin to show predicted stock fluctuation
