by Azra Kurtic

Submitted : Spring 2015

The goal of this project is to minimize the total cost of holding inventory in the retail industry, particularly phone chargers at a MetroPCS Authorized Dealer. This is done using the Economic Order Quantity model, which is a formula that determines what order size minimizes the total inventory cost. For the MetroPCS, the ideal order size is 2887 chargers, resulting in the total inventory cost to be $2397.
