Revised Economic Inventory Procedure (EIP) Tables for DARCOM Depots.

Abstract

The EIP tables of AR 710-2 are revised. The Operating Level is revised to reflect current (December 1975) holding and ordering costs. The reorder point is revised to reflect a new and better methodology that considers both demand and order-and-ship time variability and achieves inventory targets commensurate with budgetary limits. Revised stockage criteria tables are developed by means of a mathematical model that produce more economic stockage decisions. The results presented are only applicable to DARCOM depots; however, with modifications the procedures could be applied to other levels of the Army retail supply system. (Author)
