ABSTRACT:
Inventory control management remains a cornerstone of operational efficiency in modern supply chain systems. This study explores the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, a foundational inventory control technique, by comparing its application under two distinct demand scenarios: constant and variable demand rates. This research highlights how demand variability influences optimal order quantities, total inventory costs, and decision-making processes through a detailed theoretical framework, mathematical analysis, and practical implications. From recent literature in operations research and supply chain management, the article provides insights into the adaptability of the EOQ model across diverse demand conditions, offering a comprehensive guide for practitioners and researchers alike.
