In this session we looked at inventory as an example of a capacity problem. Capacity modeling is one tool very useful for cost control, because excess capacity can be a large drain on any enterprise.

Although the assumption of constant demand is critical to justifying the derivation of the formula for Economic Order Quantity, most problems don’t satisfy that requirement in the strict sense. But EOQ is nevertheless a valuable concept in two kinds of circumstances. The first case is when the time scale of the inventory management decisions is much shorter than the time scale of the variations in demand. And the second is when the fluctuations in demand occur much more rapidly than the inventory management decisions.
These two approximations occur repeatedly in modeling problems. Watch for opportunities to apply them elsewhere.
