ABSTRACT
The article discusses optimal inventory policy in a simple business organization that has a known or predictable factors. Optimal inventory policy implies cost saving in inventrory control, and achievement of maximum profits or/and to minimum costs. A mathematical model is used for this purpose and a case study adjusts mathematics (maths) results practically of a business situation. Theoretical optimization (maths optimization) and practical optimization (adjustment of maths results) are compared.
