{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Economic Order Quantity","description":"The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size at which the combined total of ordering costs and holding costs reaches its minimum. Ordering costs cover administration, freight, and processing fees; holding costs include capital tied up in inventory, warehouse space, insurance, and shrinkage.
