run-outs

Inventory hitting zero

Run-outs are instances of running out—typically of stock, supplies, or materials.

In retail, a run-out means inventory has been depleted: We had several run-outs during the holiday rush.

In cricket, a run-out is a dismissal where a fielder breaks the wicket while the batsman is outside the crease.

In manufacturing, run-out refers to deviation from true rotation in a spinning part.
