Other forms: replenishments
Replenishment is restocking what has been used or sold. Shelf replenishment, replenishment orders, overnight replenishment.
In retail it is a science: too little and the shelf is empty, too much and the stock room fills, and the systems that decide it now run on sales data by the hour. At sea, replenishment at sea is refuelling a warship under way rather than in port.
