A grocery eyewear rack can look full while being functionally out of stock because reader powers sell unevenly and slow inventory can hide the gaps.
What to check first
- core reader powers
- power-level backstock
- sunglass depth during seasonal peaks
- misplaced frames
- store-level reorder history
Why total units are misleading
A shopper who cannot find the needed power has encountered a stockout even if dozens of other frames remain.
Correct by power and store
Use repeated stockouts to deepen the affected powers and reduce excess behind slower inventory. Multi-store programs should adjust locally instead of using only chain-wide totals.
