Travel centers should change eyewear inventory before predictable road-demand peaks and account for supplier or freight lead time when planning the refill layer.
Holiday and summer travel
Increase depth behind core readers and proven driving sunglasses before the traffic arrives.
Weather disruptions
Storms and travel interruptions can change traffic patterns quickly; avoid overreacting to a single unusual event.
Freight and supplier lead time
Place orders early enough that the inventory arrives before the peak.
Reset after travel season
Reduce temporary backstock and keep only the year-round demand level.
