Spreadsheet Models for Managers


Examples 11/13
Session Links

  • You're a buyer of dyes for an apparel manufacturer. The annual demand for dyes of all colors is 64,000 liters. Price is $10 per liter. The cost to hold an item in inventory is 20% of the value of the item per year. It costs $10 to place an order (you use email). What is the EOQ? Make plots showing the two components of total cost as functions of order quantity.
  • You expect volume to pick up next year, so you negotiated a quantity discount. If you buy more than 1000 liters at a time, you can get a price of $8 per liter. If you buy more than 3,000 liters at a time, the price is only $7 per liter. Now what is the optimum order quantity?

Demonstration

These examples differ in that price is independent of quantity in the first, but varies with quantity in the second. This prevents you from using the EOQ formula in the second example — at least, not directly.
