Derive the formulae you use from the first principles.

 Question : A producer distributes 800 packing boxes per month, which he purchased at a cost of Rs. 10 each. The manager has assigned an annual carrying charge of 25 percent of the purchase price per box. Ordering costs are Rs. 28. Currently the manager orders once a month. How much could the firm save annually in ordering and carrying costs using EOQ? Derive the formulae you use from the first principles. (Summer 2005)

Solution : Economic ordering quantity (E.O.Q.) is obtained by the quantity whose procurement cost is equal to inventory carrying cost.

Let,

A = Total items consumed (used) per year

P = Procurement cost per year

C = Annual inventory carrying cost per item of component

Q = Economic ordering quantity

Then, Procurement cost / year

= (Number of orders placed in a year) x (cost per year)    

= (AxP)/Q                                    ... (i)

and inventory carrying cost/year

= (Average value of inventory in a year) x (Annual Inventory carrying cost per item component)

= (QxC)/2                                      ...(ii)

Total Cost = {(AxP)/Q}+{(QxC)/2}                           ...(iii)

This total cost will be minimum, when

= (AxP)/Q = (QxC)/2

Delegation is neither decentralization nor are their purpose the same.

Delegation is a process, while decentralisation is the end result of delegation and dispersal of authority. Delegation mainly refers to the granting of authority and the creation of responsibility as between the individual and superiors whereas decentralisation is the situation which exists as a result of the systematic delegation of authority throughout the organisation. In delegation, a superior continues to be responsible for the work delegated to his subordinates, while in decentralisation the superior is relieved from his responsibility for the work decentralised and the subordinate become liable for that. Delegation is vital and essential to the management process. Only through delegation, subordinates can be involved in the organisation and the management can get things done. Decentralized is optional, in the sense that it may or may not be practised as a systematic policy.
