The document discusses the economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory management model. The EOQ model helps determine the optimal order quantity and frequency to meet constant demand while minimizing total inventory costs, which include fixed ordering costs and variable inventory holding costs. An example is provided where ordering 10 units once per day results in higher holding costs, while ordering 5 units twice per day reduces average inventory levels and holding costs but doubles ordering costs. The key factors in the EOQ model are demand rate, ordering costs, inventory holding costs, and how to calculate optimal order quantity, order frequency, average inventory levels, and total yearly costs.

Ø EOQ Model deals with Inventory Management Model - Economies of Scale
When to order? How many to order? Objective: Make customers happy - product availability - Meet demand Maintain low cost Example: Demand - Constant - 10 units/day Lead Time - 0 Inventory Holding Cost - Proportional to Inventory level Ordering Costs: FC/ Setup Costs + Variable Costs How many units will you order each time? Size of the order? (Frequency determined automatically)
(no lead time; so order 10=10 demand)
10 - once per day Average inventory level - 0+10/2 = 5 High holding cost ; but save money on setup
Cost to hold one unit of product Per order Per unit Yearly No. of Orders: R/Q Yearly Fixed Order Cost: SR/Q Average Inventory: Q/2 Yearly Inventory Holding Cost = HQ/2
