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...

Zur Lösung des Economic Lot Scheduling Problems (ELSP) finden sich in der Literatur drei Ansätze mit unterschiedlich einschränkenden Annahmen: - Ansatz des gemeinsamen Produktzyklus (Common-Cycle-Approach) - Ansatz der gemeinsamen Basisperiode (Basic-Period-Approach) - Ansatz der variierenden...

The well-known Capacitated Lot-Sizing Problem (CLSP) is based on the assumption that for each lot in a period setup costs are incurred. The setup costs of a CLSP solution can be reduced by linking the production quantities of an item which is scheduled in two adjacent periods. Therefore we...
