  2. Economic order quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_order_quantity

    Economic order quantity. Economic order quantity ( EOQ ), also known as financial purchase quantity or economic buying quantity, [citation needed] is the order quantity that minimizes the total holding costs and ordering costs in inventory management. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling models.

  3. Utility maximization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_maximization_problem

    It is a type of optimal decision problem. It consists of choosing how much of each available good or service to consume, taking into account a constraint on total spending (income), the prices of the goods and their preferences . Utility maximization is an important concept in consumer theory as it shows how consumers decide to allocate their ...

  4. Dynamic lot-size model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_lot-size_model

    Dynamic lot-size model. The dynamic lot-size model in inventory theory, is a generalization of the economic order quantity model that takes into account that demand for the product varies over time. The model was introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958. [ 1][ 2]

  5. Deadweight loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss

    Deadweight loss. In economics, deadweight loss is the loss of societal economic welfare due to production/consumption of a good at a quantity where marginal benefit (to society) does not equal marginal cost (to society) – in other words, there are either goods being produced despite the cost of doing so being larger than the benefit, or ...

  6. Marginal product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_product

    The marginal product of labor is the slope of the total product curve, which is the production function plotted against labor usage for a fixed level of usage of the capital input. In the neoclassical theory of competitive markets, the marginal product of labor equals the real wage. In aggregate models of perfect competition, in which a single ...

  7. Economic production quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_production_quantity

    The economic production quantity model (also known as the EPQ model) determines the quantity a company or retailer should order to minimize the total inventory costs by balancing the inventory holding cost and average fixed ordering cost. The EPQ model was developed and published by E. W. Taft, a statistical engineer working at Winchester ...

  8. Economic batch quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_batch_quantity

    Economic batch quantity. In inventory management, Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ), also known as Optimum Batch Quantity (OBQ) is a measure used to determine the quantity of units that can be produced at the minimum average costs in a given batch or product run. EBQ is basically a refinement of the economic order quantity (EOQ) model to take into ...

  9. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    Here too the profit is not maximized and the firm has to lower its output level to maximize profits. In economics, profit maximization is the short run or long run process by which a firm may determine the price, input and output levels that will lead to the highest possible total profit (or just profit in short).
