from the name itself we can say it is the quantity we have to order which makes the cost of purchase as minimum as possible for example we want to purchase some 40000 goods The purchase of 40000 can be made in different lots so that the cost of purchase of 40000 goods becomes minimum for this we have to consider the ordering costs and carrying costs At EOQ both ordering and carrying costs are equal

EOQ is basically that quantity that you order when your stock level reaches Re-Order Quantity Level. As mentioned in other posts the carrying and ordering cost is equal when such a quantity is ordered. However, it is always not possible to order the EOQ because of various limitations.
