The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model is helpful in determining accurate inventory decisions. Discuss the major inventory costs that are used in determining the EOQ. Propose an example from your own experience or what you could imagine where EOQ could be used to improve inventory decisions. In all discussion question responses ensure that you correctly reference sources you used in researching and analyzing your response. Use appropriate scholarly citation methods.

EOQ = sqrt*(2*D*S/H)
D = Annual Demand
S = Setup cost or Ordering cost
H = Holding cost or inventory carrying cost
I work for Colgate Palmolive. We use Calcium carbonate whose annual demand is 4000 Tons
The Ordering cost is 100$ per order
The Holding cost per Ton per year is 5$
The EOQ = sqrt(2*4000*100/5) = 400 Tons
Thus, every time we use to order 400 Tons of material and store the same.
The number of orders placed per year = Annual demand/EOQ = 4000/400 = 10 orders
So, it helped to drastically improved inventory for all Raw and Packaging material along with Engineering spares

  3. RE: Module 1 Discussions – Why is it important to critically analyze sources? Why are scholarly sources more appropriate for academic research?
  4. Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link Doing Discussion Questions Right, the expanded grading rubric for the forum, and any specific instructions for this topic. From the bulleted list below, select one topic on which you will lead the discussion in the forum this week. Early in the week, reserve your selected topic by posting your response (reservation post) to the Discussion Area and identifying your topic in the subject line. By the due date assigned, research your topic and start a scholarly conversation as you respond with your initial or primary post to your own reservation post in the Discussion Area. Make sure your response does not duplicate your classmates’ responses. ***Compare the Style approach to the Situational approach. Where do the approaches overlap? Where do they diverge? As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be: Succinct—no more than 500 words. Provocative—use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire, learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand. Supported—scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources.
