Storyboard Beats & Narration

01

The Two Opposing Forces

"Ordering frequently in small batches keeps inventory low but skyrockets clerical and freight setup charges. Ordering in huge bulk reduces setups but balloons holding costs."

Visual State:Display competing hyperbolic ordering cost curve and linear holding cost line.
02

The Golden Intersection

"At the exact intersection where annual ordering cost equals annual holding cost, Total Cost reaches its absolute mathematical minimum."

Visual State:Animate vertical dashed marker pointing to EOQ intersection with glowing minimum point.
03

The Flat Bottom Principle

"Notice how the total cost curve is remarkably flat near the minimum. A 20% deviation in batch size increases total cost by less than 2%, demonstrating high robustness."

Visual State:Shade tolerance window illustrating cost insensitivity.
Concept Gate Verification Check

If lean manufacturing reduces order setup cost S to 1/4 of its original value, how will EOQ change?
