MPQ
Procurement
MPQ (Minimum Pack Quantity)
Minimum Pack Quantity
Smallest packaging or shipping quantity in which an item can practically be ordered or moved.
Examples
- 01The MPQ for a resistor is one reel of 5,000 pieces, so a requirement of 1,200 still means 5,000 arrive at goods receipt.
- 02When choosing a distributor, the buyer reviews MPQ together with price and delivery time, because a large MPQ on rare parts creates years of stock.
- 03Switching 40 rarely used electronic parts to a distributor with an MPQ of 100 cuts their stock value by EUR 35,000.
