How to read this result

Three useful checks, kept deliberately short.

What this result includes

EOQ is about 566 units per order before supplier or storage constraints.

A practical example

12,000 units of annual demand, RM80 per order and RM6 annual holding cost per unit: Multiply demand by twice the order cost Β· Divide by holding cost per unit Β· Take the square root.

Common input mistake

Round to a practical quantity that respects pack sizes, minimum orders and available storage.

Formula and assumptions

Economic Order Quantity = √(2 Γ— Annual Demand Γ— Cost per Order Γ· Annual Holding Cost per Unit)

The standard model assumes steady demand, known costs and immediate replenishment without stockouts.

Keep in mind: Validate demand variability, lead time, discounts, storage limits and supplier minimums before using the result for purchasing.
