This contribution summarizes recent work in the field of lot sizing and scheduling. The objective is not to give a comprehensive literature survey, but to explain differences of formal models and to provide some first readings recommendations. Our focus is on capacitated, dynamic, and...

This contribution deals with dynamic, capacitated, multi-level lot sizing and scheduling. The basic assumption is that for each item there is exactly one machine that this item can be manufactured on but no two items share a common machine. Finding an optimal solution with a greedy algorithm...

This contribution acquaints the reader with a model for multi-level single-machine proportional lot sizing and scheduling problems (PLSPs) that appear in the scope of short-term production planning. It is one of the first papers that deals with dynamic capacitated multi-level lot sizing and...

"In this paper we develop a monopolistic competition model where firms exercise their market power across multiple products. Even with CES preferences, markups are endogenous. Firms choose their optimal product scope by balancing the net profits from a new variety against the costs of...

In a recent paper, Fisher et al. (2001) present a method tomitigate end-effects in lot sizing by including a valuation term for end-of-horizon inventory in the objective function of the short-horizon model. Computational tests show that the proposed method outperforms the Wagner-Whitin algorithm...
