For example, if the Servigistics forecast predicts demand for 20 parts per slice for the next two slices, and Set EOQ is specified as 1.25 slices of forecast, then the EOQ will be 25 units. There may be any number of reasons for overriding an EOQ, such as the material is difficult to store (size, lack of room) or it may have a short shelf life (chemicals). Set EOQ impacts the value of Stock Max by overriding the calculated EOQ value.
