Economic Order Quantity – EOQ Assumptions:
Demand for a particular item is known and constant Reorder time (time from when the order is placed until the
shipment arrives) is also known The order is filled all at once, i.e. when the shipment
arrives, it arrives all at once and in the quantity requested Annual cost of carrying the item in inventory is
proportional to the value of the items in inventory Ordering cost is fixed and constant, regardless of the size
of the order
![Page 18: MT 2351 Chapter 7 Calculus-Based Solutions Procedures](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061611/56649d3a5503460f94a15463/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity – EOQ Variable Definitions:
Let Q represent the optimal order quantity, or the EOQ Ch represent the annual carrying (or holding) cost per
unit of inventory Co represent the fixed ordering costs per order D represent the number of units demanded annually
![Page 19: MT 2351 Chapter 7 Calculus-Based Solutions Procedures](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061611/56649d3a5503460f94a15463/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

satisfied, then the number of units in inventory would follow the pattern in the graph below:

MT 235 20
Economic Order Quantity – EOQ At time = 0 after the initial delivery, the
inventory level would be Q. The inventory level would then decline, following the straight line since demand is constant. When the inventory just reaches zero, the next delivery would occur (since delivery time is known and constant) and the inventory would instantaneously return to Q. This pattern would repeat throughout the year.
![Page 21: MT 2351 Chapter 7 Calculus-Based Solutions Procedures](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061611/56649d3a5503460f94a15463/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MT 235 21
Economic Order Quantity – EOQ Under these assumptions:
Average Inventory Level = Q/2 Annual Carrying (or Holding) Cost = (Q/2)*Ch
The annual ordering cost would be the number of orders times the ordering cost: (D/Q)* Co
Total Annual Cost = TC = (Q/2)*Ch+(D/Q)* Co
![Page 22: MT 2351 Chapter 7 Calculus-Based Solutions Procedures](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061611/56649d3a5503460f94a15463/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MT 235 22
Economic Order Quantity – EOQ To find the Optimal Order Quantity, Q take the first
derivative of TC with respect to Q: (dTC/dQ) = (Ch/2) – DCoQ-2 = 0
Solving this for Q, we find: Q* = (2DCo/Ch)^(1/2)
Which is the Optimal Order Quaintly
Checking the second-order conditions (Rule 2 in our text), we have: (d2TC/dQ2)= (2DCo/Q3)
Which is always > 0, since all the quantities in the expression are positive. Therefore, Q* gives a minimum value for total cost (TC)

Restricted Interval Problems Step 1:
Find all the points that satisfy rules 1 & 2. These are candidates for yielding the optimal solution to the problem.
Step 2: If the optimal solution is restricted to a specified interval,
evaluate the function at the end points of the interval.
Step 3: Compare the values of the function at all the points found
in steps 1 and 2. The largest of these is the global maximum solution; the smallest is the global minimum solution.

If rule 6 is satisfied at a point (x*1, x*

1, x*2) is a local maximum or a local
minimum.

Interpretation of Lagrange Multipliers
The value of the Lagrange multiplier associated with the general model above is the negative of the rate of change of the objective function with respect to a change in b. More formally, it is negative of the partial derivative of f(x1, x2) with respect to b; that is, λ = - ∂f/∂b or ∂f/∂b = - λ

Models Involving Inequality Constraints
Step 1: Assume the constraint is not binding, and apply the procedures of
“Unconstrained Models with More Than One Decision Variable” to find the global maximum of the function, if it exists. (Functions that go to infinity do not have a global maximum). If this global maximum satisfies the constraint, stop. This is the global maximum for the inequality-constrained problem. If not, the constraint may be binding at the optimum. Record the value of any local maximum that satisfies the inequality constraint, and go on to Step 2.
Step 2: Assume the constraint is binding, and apply the procedures of “Models
with Equality Constraints” to find all the local maxima of the resulting equality-constrained problem. Compare these values with any feasible local maxima found in Step 1. The largest of these is the global maximum.
