In the quantity discount model, the optimum quantity will always be found on the lowest total cost curve.

In the single-period model, the service level is the probability that demand will not exceed the stocking level in any period.

The average inventory level and the number of orders per year are inversely related: As one increases, the other decreases.

In the fixed-order-interval model, the order size is the same for each order.

Assuming a 30-day month, at what point should bills be reordered?

The two main concerns of inventory control relate to the costs and the level of customer service.
