Stock sawtooth chart
Stock on hand, drawn down and refilled.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A stock sawtooth chart shows units on hand falling with sales and jumping back with each delivery, with a reorder line across. Stockouts and late reorders stand out at once. Use it for inventory, spare parts and any level that is used up and refilled.
Pay once. Every update included.

What people ask before they put a stock sawtooth in a dashboard.
Something else?
hello@usechartory.comAny stretch at zero is marked in the danger colour, and the legend names it (Stockout), so the sample's one stockout is easy to find.
It comes with the data and is drawn as a dashed line with its value (REORDER 300), so every drop below it reads as a late reorder.
One data object in the sample’s shape: units on hand over time, a reorder point. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/stock-sawtooth. You review the diff.
