Definition

Economic Order Quantity is a formula-based inventory management approach that determines the optimal order quantity minimizing total inventory costs including ordering and holding costs. EOQ analysis supports efficient procurement and inventory management decisions.

EOQ considerations affect delivery order quantities and logistics contract pricing. Understanding EOQ principles helps contractors develop efficient supply chain strategies. EOQ calculations balance procurement frequency against inventory carrying costs to optimize total costs.
