15. 2SO C Q* = Inventory Management

16. 2SO C Inventory Management Q = inventory order size in units C = cost of carrying 1 unit in inventory S = total demand in units over planning period O = ordering cost per order Q* =

17. Example: Inventory Management Q = inventory order size in units C = cost of carrying 1 unit in inventory = 1.25 S = total demand in units over planning period = 10,000 units O = ordering cost per order = $250 2SO C Q* =

18. Example: Inventory Management

19. 2SO C Q* =

20. Example: Inventory Management 2SO C 2 x 250 x 10,000 1.25 Q* =

21. Example: Inventory Management 2SO C 2 x 250 x 10,000 1.25 = 2,000 units Q* =

22. Order Point Problem Average EOQ inventory 2 = + safety stock
