Because, contrary to the variations of the service level, the service level does not only reflect the stockout event but also the amount backordered, it is widely used in industrial practice.

In a base-stock system inventory position is given by on-hand inventory-backorders+orders and since inventory never goes negative, inventory position=r+1. Once an order is placed the base stock level is r+1 and if X≤r+1 there won't be a backorder. The probability that an order does not result in back-order is therefore:
