In this paper we consider an inventory location that serves downstream nodes (e. g. production processes, regional warehouses or customers) in a supply chain. It is pointed out, that the overall optimization of logistical processes should be based on the order delivery time as a critical...

In this paper we propose a new solution approach to a lotsizing and scheduling problem which explicitly includes the simultaneous consideration of a common setup operator. This type of problem has been observed in several industries. We propose a model formulation of this dynamic capacitated...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the dynamic Multi-Level Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem with Setup Carry-Overs (MLCLSP-L). The MLCLSP-L is a big-bucket model that allows the production of any number of products within a period, but it incorporates partial sequencing of the production...

This paper deals with the dynamic multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem under random period demands (SCLSP). Unfilled demands are backordered and a fill rate constraint is in effect. It is assumed that, according to the static-uncertainty strategy of Bookbinder and Tan [1], all decisions...
