Discussion

Select one of the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)-related documents from the website of the Washington State Department of Health. Explain the focus of the document in relation to EOQ and summarize the information contained within it:

• How does this real-world example compare with what you have read in the material for this module?
• How does it compare to what you have seen in healthcare settings?
• Did you see any information in contrast to or in addition to what was covered in the textbook?

What is another application (beyond vaccine ordering) for the EOQ model in a healthcare setting?
