Help Tab Explaining How to Use the Inventory and Inbound Estimation Features - Detailed Manual

📋 Tab Overview

🎯 What is the "Inventory & Inbound Estimation Explanation Tab"?
This tab (在庫入荷量の推定説明Tp) is an embedded read-only help guide designed to assist users in understanding operational workflows, mathematical logic, and practical applications of the stock and inbound volume estimation module.

It renders full-screen visual diagrams via PictureBox2, offering an immediate on-screen reference without requiring users to switch away to external documents.

🎯 Purpose and Role

Primary Objectives

  • Operating Workflow Guide: Visually demonstrates step-by-step procedures for calculating stock and inbound parameters.
  • Mathematical Logic Explanation: Clarifies equations used to derive stock quantities, pallet counts, and daily receiving throughput.
  • Parameter Definitions: Explicitly defines Maximum Stock Days, Safety Stock Days, and Operational Working Stock Days.
  • Output Interpretation: Teaches users how to interpret generated pallet positions and receiving dock requirements.
  • Onboarding & Training: Serves as a standardized visual guide for onboarding new team members.
