Hi I was struggling with the ebq formula so is it square root 2× oreder/batch quality ×demand÷ holding cost per unit now do I × or ÷ this by 1-demand÷rate? Thanks a lot. In the f2 lecture on this topic it’s confusing as the lecturer writes he is × it but calls out on his calculator that he is ÷ it. Please help
January 12, 2018 at 9:19 am #428634You must be using Lecture Notes along with the lectures. The formula is given in the notes. Kindly refer to it.
January 14, 2018 at 6:18 pm #429271Thanks but it doesn’t state explicly in the notes, it appears to be ×, but the lecturer called out divide when he plugged it in time his calculator, and the answer he got was through dividing. Please tell me if I times or divide the bracketed part of the ebq formula (1-demand÷rate) thanks a lot
January 15, 2018 at 10:22 am #429894The formula cannot be written here. I’ll try to simplify it, so that you may understand.
EBQ = [{2CoD÷Ch(1-D/R)}]^0.5
Since square root cannot be made here, i have used ^0.5 instead. Everything else is same.
Co = Ordering Cost
D = Annual Demand
Ch = Holding cost
R = Replenishment rate - AuthorPosts
