Example: to calculate the optimized order parameters
Calculating the optimized order parameters is one of the steps that LN performs in the optimization algorithm for logistic parameters in the Resource Analysis and Optimization module in Enterprise Planning. The optimized order parameters consist of the optimized order interval (in days) and the optimized lot size.
Optimized order interval
The formula that LN uses to calculate the optimized order interval is the following:
OI = L/FWhere:
| OI | Order interval (days) |
| L | Optimized time period (days) |
| F | Number of times an item is produced in the optimized time period |
Example
Suppose that we have the following data:
| L: | 60 days |
| F: | 20 |
The calculation of the optimized order interval is then:
OI = L/F = 60/20 = 3This means that the optimized order interval is 3 days.
Optimized lot size
The formula that LN uses to calculate the optimized lot size is the following:
LS = D/FWhere:
| LS | Lot size |
| D | Total demand in the optimized period |
| F | Number of times an item is produced in the optimized period |
Example
Suppose that we have the following data:
| D: | 600 pieces |
| F: | 20 |
The calculation of the optimized lot size is then:
LS = D/F = 600/20 = 30This means that the optimized lot size is 30 pieces
