Math that doesn't pretend
Weighted moving average: each of the last 12 weeks gets a weight, recent weeks weighted heavier. Add a simple linear trend so a steadily-rising SKU gets bigger orders and a fading SKU gets smaller ones. Project the result over the supplier's lead-time-in-days plus a 50% safety margin.
No black-box neural nets, no probability bands. Honest math you can verify by hand. Cold-start (no shipment history) falls back to the flat reorder-point × 1.5 default, so new shops don't get garbage forecasts.
