If EOQ = 360 units, order costs are $5 per order, and carrying costs are $0.20 per unit, what is the usage in units? How many orders will be placed in a year if there are 250 working days per year and lead time is 5 days?
1)
EOQ = 360 units
S = Ordering cost = $5 per order
H = Holding or carrying cost per unit per year: $0.20 per unit
d = daily demand/ usage rate = ?
2*d*5/0.2
EOQ = squre root of 50d
360 * 360 = 50d
360*360/50 = d
d = 2592 units
2) Number of orders = D/Working Days in a year = 2592/250 = 10.37 or 10 orders
