(6-1)

Average inventory level=Q2

(6-2)

Annual ordering cost=DQ Co

(6-3)

Annual holding cost=Q2 Ch

(6-4)

EOQ=Q*=2DCoCh

(6-5)

TC=DQCo+Q2Ch

Total relevant inventory cost.

(6-6)

Average dollar level=(CQ)2

(6-7)

Q*=2DCoIC

EOQ with Ch expressed as percentage of unit cost.

(6-8)

ROP=d×L

Reorder point: d is the daily demand and L is the lead time in days.

Equations 6-9 through 6-13 are associated with the production run model.
