Issuable stock index

This effectively indicates how many days stock you are holding in your inventory.

You should set your ideal stock and ISI levels in conjunction with your Blood Service's Transfusion Medicine Service.

How is Issuable Stock Index or ISI calculated?

Over a 6-month period, the Blood Service sums the total of a product (eg, red cells) that we have distributed to you.

Divide this by the number of working days in 6 months based on a 6 day week (108 days). This provides the average daily issue or ADI.

Then divide how much stock you have by the ADI and this provides the ISI.
