PRODUCTION ORDER QUANTITY
MODEL
In EOQ Model, We assumed that the entire order was received at
one time.
However, Some Business Firms may receive their orders over a
period of time
Such cases require a different inventory model
Here, we take into account the daily production rate and
daily demand rate.
Since this model is especially suitable for production
environments,It is called Production Order Quantity Model
Lets’ define the following :
p: Daily Production rate (units / day)
d: Daily demand rate (units / day)
t:Length of the production in days.
H: Annual holding cost per unit
Average Holding Cost
= (Average Inventory).H
=(Max. Inventory / 2).H
In the period of production (until the end of each t
period):
Max. Inventory =(Total Produced) – (Total Used) =p.t-
d.t
Here, Q is the total units that are produced.
Therefore, Q = p.t t = Q/p
If we replace the values of t in the Max. Inventory formula:
Max. Inventory=p (Q/p)-d (Q/p)
=Q-dQ/p
=Q (1 – d/p)
Annual Holding Cost=(Max. Inventory / 2).H
=Q/2 (1 – d/p).H Annual Setup
Cost
= (D/Q).S
Now we will set Annual Holding Cost
=Annual Setup Cost Q/2
(1 – d/p).H
=(D/Q).S
This formula gives us the optimum production quantity for the
Production Order Quantity Model.
It is used when inventory is consumed as it is produced.
