Abstract Marginal analysis is applied to solve the economic production lot‐size problem. Rather than duplicating past research efforts, this paper emphasizes how marginal analysis can be used to reduce the complexity of large problems and to provide a range of near‐optimal solutions. Problem complexity is reduced through a simple grouping procedure while the range of near‐optimal solutions is organized via a simple figure. Finally, the method of selecting from among the solutions under varying conditions is discussed.
