Is eoq model outdated technique for inventory control

The rate of demand is known and spread evenly throughout the year.
The lead time is fixed.
The purchase price of the item is constant (i.e., no discount is available).
The replenishment is made instantaneously; the whole batch is delivered at once.

Only one product is involved.
