Cost Minimization
By addingGoal
the item, holding, and ordering costs
together, we determine the total cost curve, which in
turn is used to find the Qopt inventory order point that
minimizes total costs
There is a Direct Relationship between the Order Size and
Total Cost to Carry, when Order Size is decreases (few)
C the Total Cost to Carry also decreases, while Order Size
O Increases, total Cost to Carry also increases.
S Holding /Carrying
T Costs
There is an inverse relationship between the Order Size
and Total Cost per Order, if the Order Size decreases the
Total Cost per Order Increase, while if the Order Size Annual Cost of
Increases the total Cost per Order decrease.
