Economic Order Quantity Concept Map Guide
Economic order quantity, or EOQ, is the order size that minimizes the total cost of holding and ordering inventory. The model rests on a few inputs: annual demand, the fixed cost of placing an order, and the cost of holding one unit in stock for a year. The basic formula is the square root of 2DS divided by H, where D is demand, S is ordering cost and H is holding cost per unit.
- Cost terms: ordering cost and holding cost, and why they pull in opposite directions
- The formula: EOQ = square root of (2DS / H), with each variable defined
- Assumptions: constant demand, fixed lead time and no quantity discounts
- Extensions: reorder point, safety stock and quantity discount models
Use the map to revise the formula and test which assumptions break in real businesses. CogniGuide can turn your own EOQ notes into a personalized map you can expand, quiz and export.
EOQ Mind Map Questions
Common questions about the EOQ model and building a map of it.
What does EOQ minimize?
EOQ minimizes total inventory cost, which is the sum of annual ordering costs and annual holding costs. Ordering more often raises ordering costs, while larger orders raise holding costs, so the optimal quantity sits where the two are balanced.
What are the main assumptions of the EOQ model?
The basic model assumes constant known demand, a fixed ordering cost per order, a constant holding cost, instant replenishment and no shortages. Real inventory often needs adjustments for these assumptions.
Which files can I use to make an EOQ mind map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Is it free to create an EOQ mind map?
Yes, the free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise the limits. You can also turn the map into a quiz to test yourself.
