Independent Demand Scheduling
Deterministic Demand - Finite Replenishment Rate

where:
EOQ = Economic Order Quantity
R = Rate of demand units/year
S = Setup Cost ($)
I = Storage cost per item per year
m = Replenishment rate units/year
Probabilistic Demand
S=uL+R+KsL+R
where:
S=Order Up To Quantity
uL+R=Mean Demand during Lead Time + Review Time
K=Safety Factor
sL+R=Standard Deviation of Demand during Lead Time + Review Time
Dependent Demand Scheduling
