First SCQ is a fixed quantity, think of a container of a dozen eggs - the SCQ is 12. SCQ is related to how many bins or kanban are in circulation between supplier and customer. EOQ is a completely different concept that attempts to trade off ordering cost, inventory hold cost to determine order quantity. EOQ might say to buy 4 eggs or 44. Look here for a discussion on EOQ http://www.resourcesystemsconsulting.com/blog/archives/13 SCQ and EOQ are not the same thing.

When we can't move one piece at a time, we move parts in fixed quantity. <strong># of Kanban</strong> is the number of containers or bins or totes or kanban cards that are in circulation.

I am trying to design a continuous replenishment model and I am not sure I can map these terms to my model. Thanks Hello,

One container of 4800 will last 10.5 hours. So I would use 2 Bins or 2 IPK Floor Squares. When the first square is empty you have 10+ hours available in the IPK square. This square will get covered in 7.5 hours, so you will have 3 hours of safety (10.5-7.5 = 3 hours). OK? So customer demand is 458 pieces per hour (10300/(3*7.5)).
