+
+This application is designed to help businesses forecast inventory levels and simulate
+purchasing decisions to optimize supply chain operations. The user can input how much demand
+he expects for each item, their production and delivery time, and the minimal stock he wants to
+have. The application will then calculate the optimal purchasing decisions to satisfy the
+demand.

+# Understanding the Application
+
+The user can input the following parameters for each item:
+- Expectation Factor: how much more demand is expected compared to last month,
+- Production Time: how many days it takes to produce the order,
+- Arrival Time: how many days it takes to receive the order,
+- Minimal Stock: the minimum stock level to maintain.

+
+After changing the parameters, the user can start the simulation by pressing the "Submit"
+button at the bottom right.
+
+The app will then show the inventory of all items, the recommended purchase orders, and the
+simulated inventory levels for each item in plots.
