The quantity of a planned or actual order for purchased or production items, calculated as a result of lot size rules that consider the reason for the order (to order or to stock) and the costs created by the tradeoff in creating and setting up orders vs carrying inventory for a period of time
The quantity of goods a company purchases or produces in anticipation of use or sale in the future
(Ticaret) A lot size that always uses the same quantity (or a multiple) for a reorder; the timing of the order varies while the size of the order is constant. Fixed lots are sometimes used when a process may require stamping out 100 pieces at a time, or when a vendor will only ship a carton of 500 items. Using fixed lots may mean placing fewer orders, at the tradeoff of carrying more inventory for a period of time than may be required
