1. EOQ
Given data:
Demand/Year (D)
Ordering cost/batch (A)
Purchase Price (c)
Inventory cost/Year (a)
Calculate:
2𝑥𝐷𝑥𝐴
EOQ (Q) = √
𝑎𝑥𝑐
𝐷
No of order/Year =
𝑄
Total Cost = Ordering Cost + Inventory carrying cost + Material Cost
𝐷𝑥𝐴
Ordering Cost =
𝑄
𝑄𝑥𝑎𝑥𝑐
Inventory Carrying Cost =
2
Material Cost = c x D
% Discount on cost price (Cn) if only ‘y’ orders are allowed to place (Total cost remains
constant)
𝐷
Q1 =

𝐷𝑥𝐴 𝑄 𝑥 𝑎 𝑥 𝐶𝑛
Total Cost = + + Cn x D
𝑄 2

2. Reorder Level
Given Data;
Demand/year (D)
EOQ (Q)
working days/year (N)
Lead time (L)
Calculate:
𝐷
Consumption/Day =
𝑁
Reorder level = Consumption/day x L
𝐷
iii) d = 𝑁
Aggregate Planning
𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑥 𝑛𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑥 ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑑𝑎𝑦
Wages produced during Normal time(NT) =
ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡
Wages produced during Over time (OT) = Required Demand- Wages produced during NT
Total Cost = Hiring Cost + Layoff cost + Wages Normal time + Wages Over time + Inventory
carrying cost
1. Level Strategy
The number of workers throughout a period(month/quarter) remains constant
𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡
Total no of workers required =
𝑛𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑥 ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑑𝑎𝑦
2. Chase Strategy
The number of workers/period (month/quarter) changes. Need to calculate for every period
𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡
Total no of workers required =
𝑛𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑥 ℎ𝑟𝑠/𝑑𝑎𝑦
