Predictable Means Controllable: Turn Consumption into a Plan

Variability is expensive. Overuse, stockouts, overstock, emergency buys—none of it shows up in the unit price, yet all of it lands on the bottom line. A single SKU makes gloves behave like a parameter, not a surprise. Set a par level against your peaks, pair it with single-use discipline—finish a scenario and dispose rather than carrying a glove between tasks—and the edges of monthly consumption become visible. Order against those edges and you stop leaking cost in the margins.

Case packs anchor replenishment to the way shifts actually run. Ten boxes per case is a usable grain size; four sizes map cleanly to roles. We publish ship windows on the page so lateness doesn’t sneak up on you. With no distributors and no offline stores, the path is shorter and the arrival date you expect is the one you’re likely to see.

Single-use isn’t waste; it’s containment. Each task ends cleanly so risk and variance don’t roll forward. Over time, that boundary turns into steadier costs, steadier quality, steadier reviews. Predictable becomes controllable—and controllable is worth investing in.
