Abstract
Various aspects pertaining to inventory carrying cost have been described in this chapter. Along with the potential reasons for an increase in carrying cost, such increase is implemented and results are tabulated. It is also shown that the variation in total cost is higher than that in lot size. Similarly after discussing the potential reasons for a reduction in carrying cost, the implementation is analyzed. In this case, it is shown that the variation in lot size is higher than that in the total cost. Analysis is also extended for backordering scenario along with the tabulated generalized results. Interaction of holding cost with other parameters is described.
