bestillingsmenger
Bestillingsmenger, commonly written bestillingsmengde in Norwegian, is a term in inventory management that refers to the quantity of units ordered in each replenishment, or order, cycle. It is a central decision variable in balancing ordering costs with holding costs and service level targets. The concept is widely applied in procurement, manufacturing, retail, and logistics to optimize stock levels and minimize total costs.
In classical inventory theory, the optimal order quantity is often determined using the Economic Order Quantity
The chosen bestillingsmengde interacts with other inventory parameters, such as the reorder point and safety stock.
