The EOQ aims for the optimum order size while assuming that:

  • Demand is relatively uniform and certain
  • Item costs are fixed
  • Ordering costs and inventory costs are fixed
  • Lead times are constant

With the above stated assumptions, the formula only has to account for Demand, Inventory costs and Ordering costs in the formula. That's a simplified scenario this formula uses but it still comes in handy.
