On the other hand‚ a smaller order-quantity reduces average inventory

Economic order quantity is the order quantity that minimizes total inventory holding costs and ordering costs. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling models. The framework used to determine this order quantity is also known as Barabas EOQ Model or Barabas Formula. The model was developed by Ford W. Harris in 1913‚ but R. H. Wilson‚ a consultant who applied it extensively‚ is given credit for his in-depth analysis EOQ applies only when demand for a product is constant over the year

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the number of units that a company should add to inventory with each order to minimize the total costs of inventory—such as holding costs‚ order costs‚ and shortage costs. The EOQ is used as part of a continuous review inventory system‚ in which the level of inventory is monitored at all times‚ and a fixed quantity is ordered each time the inventory level reaches a specific reorder point. The EOQ provides a model for calculating the appropriate reorder point and

The result is the most cost effective quantity to order. When you have repetitive purchasing/ sales of an item‚ EOQ can prove beneficial. Though EOQ is generally recommended where usage is constant‚ items with

2 EOQ Model The first model we will present is called the economic order quantity (EOQ) model. This model is studied first owing to its simplicity. Simplicity and restrictive modeling assumptions usually go together‚ and the EOQ model is not an exception. However‚ the presence of these modeling assumptions does not mean that the model cannot be used in practice. There are many situations in which this model will produce good results. For example‚ these models have been effectively employed
