Economic Order Quantity Interactive Model

The Economic Order Quantity Interactive Model allows users to interactively conduct EOQ analysis. The user can change the three parameters: H, D and S to see the impact on the total cost curve.

Instructions:

  1. H: Carrying cost per unit
  2. D: Demand in units per year
  3. S:Ordering cost
  4. TC: The total-cost curve is U-shaped. TC=H*Q/2+S*D/Q
  5. HC: Carrying costs are linearly related to order size. HC=H*Q/2
  6. OC: Ordering costs are inversely and nonlinearly related to order size. OC=S*D/Q
