Production scheduling problem of style good manufacturer involves seasonal stochastic demands for their goods and limited production capacities. As a result, some production must take place before the selling season starts. The problem can be cast as a stochastic optimal control problem over...

We consider a production-inventory planning problem with time-varying demands, convex production costs and a warehouse capacity constraint. It is solved by use of the Lagrangian form of the maximum principle. The possible existence of strong decision and forecast horizons is demonstrated. When...
