Dive with us in the performance of the traditional EOQ model in environments that are embedded in uncertainty

In this whitepaper, we will look at the performance of the traditional EOQ model, known for its rigorousness, when it is used under uncertain demand. The following things will be handled in this first part:

  • A short revisit of the traditional EOQ model.
  • Simple, easy-to-use alternatives to the traditional EOQ model.
  • The performance of all these EOQ models when dealing with uncertain, real-world supply chains.
