A planner has chosen to increase the order point for a raw material.

The order point is the level of inventory that triggers a replenishment order. By increasing the order point, the planner is increasing the average inventory level, which in turn increases the carrying cost. Carrying cost is the cost of holding inventory, such as storage, insurance, obsolescence, and opportunity cost. Ordering cost, landed cost, and product cost are not directly affected by the order point12.
