The Comparative Study of EOQ Newsboy and Silver-Meal Method for SMEs Business

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine an appropriate model to be used so that a cleanroom equipment company will be able to order a proper number of various types of products to serve the demand of customers at different periods of time. The case study had high inventory cost due to the fact that it could not order goods accordingly. The research compared the efficiency of Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ), Newsboy Model and Silver-Meal Method to find the optimal order quantity model for this company. The results of the study indicated that the EOQ model (in case allowing for some inventory shortage) obtained the least inventory cost.
