Economic batch quantity (EBQ), also called "optimal batch quantity" or economic production quantity, is a measure used to determine the quantity of units that can be produced at minimum average costs in a given batch or production run. EOQ - Economic Order Quantity Model Assume that the demand for a product is constant over the year and that each new order is delivered in full when the inventory reaches zero.

  • Economic batch quantity (EBQ), also called "optimal batch quantity" or economic production quantity, is a measure used to determine the quantity of units that can be produced at minimum average costs in a given batch or production run. EOQ - Economic Order Quantity Model Assume that the demand for a product is constant over the year and that each new order is delivered in full when the inventory reaches zero. There is a fixed cost charged for each order placed, regardless of the number of units ordered. There is also a holding or storage cost for each unit held in storage (expressed as a percentage of the purchase cost of the item). We want to determine the optimal number of units of the product to order so that we minimize the total cost associated with the purchase, delivery and storage of the product. Note that the only decision variable is the number of units ordered with each order (= order quantity). The other parameters that will affect the solution are the total demand for the year, the purchase cost for each item (unit cost), the fixed cost to place the order (= order cost), and the storage cost for each item (based on storing the item for a year). Note that the number of times an order is placed will also affect the total cost, however, this number can be determined from the other parameters We will use the following notation: D = annual demand of the product c = purchase cost for each item Co = Ordering Cost Ch = Holding cost (or storing) one unit in inventory for one year (normally expressed as a percentage of the purchase cost) EOQ = Economic Order quantity (number of items ordered with each order)
