What EOQ is

EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) is the order quantity that balances ordering cost against inventory holding cost. Wilson formula: EOQ = √(2 × D × S / H), where D = annual demand, S = cost per order, H = holding cost per unit/year.

Why it matters to the board

EOQ directly optimises working capital: orders too small → high admin and freight costs; orders too large → locked stock and dead-stock risk.

Practical limits

Assumes stable demand (complement with forecasting)

Must be adjusted to MOQ and volume discounts

Sensitive to real holding costs

How CRMconnect helps

CRMconnect combines EOQ with the supplier MOQ, volume discounts and demand forecast, proposing realistic order quantities, not just theoretical ones.

Πραγματικό παράδειγμα

With annual demand of 12,000 units, €45/order cost and €3/unit/year holding cost, EOQ ≈ 600 units. CRMconnect adjusts to the supplier MOQ of 500 and proposes 600 to also catch the volume discount.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις

Is EOQ still relevant today?+

Yes, as a cost-balance principle (ordering vs holding), but it must be combined with forecast, MOQ and discounts, not applied in isolation with assumed constant demand.

How does EOQ relate to reorder point?+

ROP says WHEN you order; EOQ says HOW MUCH you order. Together they form each SKU's replenishment policy.
