How the order size calculator works
What it tells you
Small, frequent orders cost more in shipping and admin. Large, rare orders cost more to store and tie up cash. The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the size where those two costs balance. If your supplier's minimum is higher, the minimum sets the order.
Tips for jewelry retailers
- The total cost curve is flat near its lowest point, so ordering 10 to 20% more or less than the suggestion changes yearly cost very little.
- Ask about price breaks. A lower unit cost at a larger quantity can outweigh the extra holding cost.
- Use this for steady sellers. Trend pieces and one-season styles are better bought to a sell-through plan.
The formulas
- Yearly demand (D)
- Weekly sales × 52
- Holding cost per unit per year (H)
- Storage × 12, or 25% of unit cost
- Order cost (S)
- Cost to place one order
- Economic order quantity
- √(2 × D × S ÷ H)
- Order size
- The larger of EOQ and the supplier minimum
Worked example
A chain costs $10.00 per unit, you sell 50 a week, each order costs $50 to place, and the supplier minimum is 100.
- Yearly demand: 50 × 52 = 2,600.
- Holding cost: 25% of $10.00 = $2.50 per unit per year.
- EOQ: √(2 × 2,600 × $50 ÷ $2.50) = 323 units.
- That clears the minimum of 100, so order 323, about every 6.5 weeks.
