Abstract
A well-known characteristic of the EOQ model is that for the optimal order quantity, the average holding costs will equal the average ordering costs. This paper extends this result to a broad class of continuous review inventory models, showing that the average annual costs of following the optimal policy for these models can be quickly calculated as the holding cost times the maximum expected inventory level.
