Term Project Part II Southwestern University EOQ – 2006 My suggestion for Maddux would be to place his order with First Printing for both the programs‚ and the inserts. For the programs‚ Maddux should base his order on D=300‚000. He should order 31‚622 programs each order. This will equate to ten orders placed throughout the season‚ saving him over $45‚000 compared to Quality Printing‚ and only cost him an extra $2‚500 in pick-up costs. For the inserts‚ Maddux should base his order on D=250
