| Troll_Whisperer said: If someone comes to a shop with 2 console and they suddenly ask for 2 consoles, the stock will be 0, right? Again, some shops will be above average and some below, but the average will remain the same. The stores get the consoles from warehouses, Sony ships to these warehouses, not the individual shops. In any case the average per shop will be the same. Some shops will ask for the 1 year shipment and the stock will spike, but at the same time some shops will not ask for any units for months because they already asked for their 1-year shipment 11 months ago, so in their case stock will be below average (0 units needed) and will bring the average on par. It's a matter of statistics. |
lolololo @the bolded 
the way you post sometimes... XD
Anyways, yes the average will remain the same, but average doesn't matter when numbers become small scale, buffer stock will always be disproportionately high in comparison to units sold in this case
daveJ's example was more than enough imo, I can't explain it any simpler for you
EDIT: I just saw Machina's post... And you're still arguing why?
