Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

Overview

EOQ determines the order quantity that minimizes total inventory cost = ordering cost + holding cost. Formula: EOQ = √(2DS/H) where D=annual demand, S=ordering cost per order, H=holding cost per unit per year. Assumes constant demand and instantaneous replenishment.

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • Setting standard order quantities for inventory replenishment
  • Balancing ordering frequency against warehousing costs
  • Baseline calculation before applying safety stock adjustments

When NOT to use:

  • When demand is highly uncertain (use newsvendor model)
  • When products are perishable with short shelf life
  • When quantity discounts change the cost structure significantly
