Assumptions of EOQ.

(1) There is no lead time
(2) There is no quantity discount
(3) The rate of demand is known
(4) There will be no opening and closing stock
(5) The holding and ordering cost are controllable

Derivation of the EOQ Model.

  • Annual demand = D divided by Q
  • Total ordering cost = D divided by Q x Co
  • Average cost = Q divided by 2
  • Total holding cost = Q divided by 2 x H
  • Total inventory cost (controllable) = D x Co divided by Q + Q x H divided by 2
  • Total inventory cost (uncontrollable) = PD + D x Co divided by Q + Q x H divided by 2
