Significant Minimum Order Quantity

A Significant Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is a minimum purchasing or production quantity that determines the green zone of a buffer. © Copyright 2025 Demand Driven Institute. Used with permission.

What is it used for?


In DDMRP buffer management, this concept ensures that order requirements—such as contractual obligations or opportunities for discounts—are met. When sizing the Green Zone, three different calculations are performed, and the largest value determines its size. One of these calculations is simply the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). This approach guarantees that when following DDMRP replenishment recommendations, the replenishment amounts for a product will always be equal to or greater than the MOQ, ensuring requirement compliance.
