  Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
The EOQ is used as part of a continuous review inventory system, in which the level of inventory is monitored at all times, and a fixed quantity is ordered each time the inventory level reaches a specific reorder point.
The EOQ model assumes that demand is constant, and that inventory is depleted at a fixed rate until it reaches zero.
The total order cost per year is S multiplied by the number of orders per year, which is equal to the annual demand divided by the number of orders, or D/Q. Finally, PD is constant, regardless of the order quantity.

 Economic order quantity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Economic Order Quantity (also known as the Wilson EOQ Model or simply the EOQ Model) is a model that defines the optimal quantity to order that minimizes total variable costs required to order and hold inventory.
The model was originally developed by F. Harris in 1915, though R. Wilson is credited for his early in-depth analysis of the model.
Additionally, the economic order interval can be determined from the EOQ and the economic production quantity model (which determines the optimal production quantity) can be determined in a similar fashion.

 Economic order quantity EOQ
The economic order quantity, denoted by Q*, is that value at which the total cost of both ordering and carrying will be minimized.
For order quantity Q to become EOQ the total ordering costs at Q should be equal to the total carrying costs.
EOQ = Q* PC In the above formula, when `U' is considered as the annual usage of material, the value of Q* indicates the size of the order to be placed for the material, which minimizes the total inventory-related costs.

 Economic Order Quantity
Economic order quantity is the number of units per order at which total inventory cost is minimized as shown in the following equation.
Ordering costs are estimated to be $70 per order.
I would you recommend in favor of the 1,000-unit order quantity because the cost increase is minimal for a range of quantities around the EOQ level and the adjusted quantity probably makes more sense for the additional cost of only $2.28..

 Optimizing Economic Order Quantity EOQ
EOQ is essentially an accounting formula that determines the point at which the combination of order costs and inventory carrying costs are the least.
EOQ is used to determine which components fit into this JIT model and what level of JIT is economically advantageous for your operation.
These costs are not associated with the quantity ordered but primarily with physical activities required to process the order.

In this exercise the order quantity, q for the next time period is to be specified.
The order quantity for the next time period is to be specified as a percent change from the economic order quantity, Q, for the current time period, taking into account the trends in costs and demand and the variability in demand.
The difference between the economic order quantity and the specified order quantity is called "Delta." Delta for each time period, the cumulative value over time and the average value of Delta is displayed.

EOQ should only be applied to higher volume items that are worth inventorying; it's much safer to use VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) for items like bolts and screws that have a high volume and aren't worth inventorying.
I wouldn't use EOQ to order memory chips for a retail computer store, because demand can vary greatly and the risk that they'll become obsolete is high.
EOQ sounds like it's a good match for your organization in some cases, but you're going to need to be careful with it due to the project-oriented nature of companies these days.

The classic EOQ model was altered to explicitly include the operating costs at the warehouse and the transportation costs and this, accounts for multiple SKUs and multiple unit loads.
This modified EOQ model is referred to as the Economic Order Frequency (EOF) model.
The quantity ordered also has an effect on the transportation cost, since a little more than the truck capacity will require an additional truck that will increase the minimum total cost.
