2. ASSUMPTIONS
n
The demand rate is constant and deterministic
n
There are no maximum and minimum restrictions on size and
also need not be in integers
n
Unit variable cost doesn’t depend on the replenishment
quantity meaning no discounts in bulk purchase or bulk
transportation
n
An item is treated independently of other items. Benefits from
joint replenishment do not exist
n
Replenishment lead time is of zero duration
n
No shortages allowed and
n
Entire replenishment quantity is delivered at the same time
3. FEW NOTATIONS
n
Q - Replenishment order quantity
n
A - Fixed cost component (ordering cost) in rs. or in dollars
n
v - Unit variable cost of an item. Expressed in rs./unit or $/unit
n
r - Carrying charge, cost of having one rupee/$ of the item
tied up in the inventory for a unit time interval (rs./rs/unit time
or $/$/unit time)
n
TRC (Q) - Total relevant costs per unit time - Sum of those
costs per unit time which can be influenced by the order
quantity ‘Q’
4. EOQ
n
Total Carrying Cost = Īvr where Ī = Average inventory =
(Q+0)/2 = Q/2
n
So, Carrying cost = Q/2 . vr
n
TRC(Q) = Total carrying cost + Total ordering cost
n
TRC(Q) = Qvr / 2 + AD / Q
n
Tangent or slope of the curve is zero i.e. dTRC(Q)/dQ = 0
n
So, vr / 2 - AD / Q2 = 0
n
Qopt or EOQ = √2AD / vr
5. EOQ
Annual Demand D = 10000 units
No. of days in an year = 250
C = $10
h = 0.4 * 10 = 4
S = $500
Find EOQ.
p = 100 units/day (production rate)
6. Economic Production Lot Size
A detergent bar soap is produced on a production line
that has an annual capacity of 60000 cases. The
annual demand is estimated at 26000 cases, with
the demand rate essentially constant throughout the
year. The cleaning, preparation, and setup of the
production line cost approx $135. The
manufacturing cost per case is $4.5 and the annual
holding cost is figured at a 24% rate. Thus hC =
0.24(4.5) = $1.08. What is the recommended
production lot size?
7. EOQ
n
Consider a 3-ohm resistor used in the assembly of a
electronic item. The demand for this item has been relatively
level over time at a rate of 2400 units/yr. The unit variable
cost of the resistor is $0.40/unit and the fixed cost per
replenishment is estimated to be $3.20. Suppose further that
an r-value of 0.24$/$/year is appropriate to use. Find the
EOQ and Total relevant costs.
9. PCP
n
Suppose EOQ for previous problem was used as 550 instead
of 400. Then what is PCP?

PCP = 50 [p2 / (1+p)]

A Paper division sells 8 1/2” x 11” (A4 Size) in a box of 100
sheets. The product has been observed to have a relatively
constant demand rate (D) of 200 boxes/yr. The unit variable
cost (v) is $16/box. Also assume that it is reasonable to use
A = $3.20 and r = 0.24 $/$/year. What is EOQ using TEOQ Vs.

Efficient algorithm for finding the best value of Q are:

Step 1: Evaluate EOQ when discount is applicable
n
EOQ(d) = √2 A D / v0(1 - d)r
n
n
Step 2: If EOQ(d) ≥ Qb, then EOQ(d) is optimal (case c); if
EOQ(d) < Qb, go to step 3
Step 3: Evaluate TRC(EOQ) = √2ADv0r + Dv0 (without
discount) and evaluate TRC(Qb).

If TRC(EOQ) < TRC(Qb), then EOQ (no discount) = √2AD/v0r
is the best order qty. (case b)

& if TRC(Qb) < TRC(EOQ), then Qb is the best point. (case a)

For a population of inventoried items, management may
impose aggregate constraint of one of the forms mentioned
below:
n
The average total
rupee/dollar value
n
The total fixed cost (or total number) of replenishments per
unit time must be less than a certain value
n
Operate at a point where the tradeoff between average
inventory and cost (or number) of replenishments per unit
time is at some reasonable prescribed value
inventory

exceed

22. n
For all inventoried items, demand rate, unit variable cost and
order quantity of item ‘i’ is given by Di, vi and Qi respectively.
And ‘n’ be the number of items in the population
n
If we use EOQ for each item, Total Average Cycle Stock
TACS = √A/r . 1/√2. ∑ √Divi
n
And the total number of replenishments per unit time,
n
N = √r/A . 1/√2. ∑ √Divi
n
Multiplication of both the equations will give,
n
(TACS) (N) = 1/2 (∑ √Divi)2
n
Division of both the equation will give

(TACS) / (N) = A/r

Even without shelf-life constraint, sometimes it becomes
