               3.4  Economic batch quantity (EBQ)

               The EBQ model is primarily concerned with determining the number of items that
               should be produced in a batch.


                           EOQ =      2C o  D D
                                    C    (1 –   )
                                           R

                           Q = Batch size

                           D = Demand per annum

                           C h = Cost of holding one unit for one year

                           C o = Cost of setting up one batch ready to be produced


                           R = Annual replenishment rate
