The EPQ model extends the EOQ model by considering production/delivery not being instantaneous. It involves producing and delivering units one at a time with a finite production rate. The model aims to minimize total costs while ensuring no stockouts occur. Utilizing cyclic policies and order quantities, the EPQ model provides insights into optimal order intervals and quantities for efficient inventory management. Comparative analysis with the EOQ model and implications for production facility utilization are also discussed.

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) Model 1
Similar assumptions to the EOQ model, except that production/delivery is not instantaneous Units are produced and delivered one unit at a time Production capacity is finite with a finite production rate P 2
Notation P: production rate (number of units/time period) TP: production cycle (time facility is producing per order cycle) TD: withdrawal cycle (time facility is idle per order cycle) T: total inventory cycle (time between setups) Qmax: maximum inventory level (units) 3
Inventory versus Time Qmax Inventory Tp TD Time 4
TP= Q/P TD= Qmax/D Qmax= TP(P - D) = Q(1 - D/P) Average inventory = Qmax/2 Number of orders per unit time = D/Q 5
Costs Total holding cost = hQmax/2=hQ(1-D/P)/2 Total ordering/setup cost = AD/Q Total production/purchasing cost = cD Total cost = AD/Q + hQ(1 - D/P)/2 + cD Unit cost = A/Q + hQ(1 - D/P)/2D + c 6

The EPQ is equivalent to an EOQ model with holding cost h’=h(1-D/P). Consequently, the optimal cost under the EPQ model is lower than the optimal cost under the EOQ model with holding cost h. 8
Production Facility Utilization U = D/P (capacity utilization) We must not operate above capacity (i.e., always keep U 1) What happens when D > P? What happens when D = P? 9

A Cyclic Policy A strictly cyclic policy is used (in each cycle, there is exactly one setup per product) Cycle time, T, is the time between two consecutive setups for any given product During T, a quantity Qiof each product i is produced and consumed; therefore, Qi= DiT 14
