Economic Production Quantity Model (EPQ)
The EPQ model uses the same assumptions as the simple or basic EOQ model, except that it use a finite replenishment rate. The assumptions are that demand is known and constant, all costs (holding, ordering, purchase) are known and constant, no quantity discounts apply, and noninstantaneous replenishment (the entire order is produced or delivered over time).
