Dynamic lot sizing problem for a warm/cold process

Heuristic-based neural networks for stochastic dynamic lot sizing problem

Multi-period single-item lot sizing problem under stochastic environment has been tackled by few researchers and remains in need of further studies. It is mathematically intractable due to its complex structure. In this paper, an optimum lot-sizing policy based on minimum total relevant cost under price and demand uncertainties was studied by using various artificial neural networks trained wit...

A dynamic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with co-production

We consider an extension of the dynamic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem to account for co-production, where multiple products are produced simultaneously in a single production run. We formulate the problem as a mixed-integer linear programming problem. We then show that a variant of the well-known zero-inventory property holds for this problem, and use this property to extend a dynamic progra...

A Dynamic Multi-Plant Lot-Sizing and Distribution Problem

OPTIMIZATION OF A PRODUCTION LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH QUANTITY DISCOUNT

Dynamic lot sizing problem is one of the significant problem in industrial units and it has been considered by  many researchers. Considering the quantity discount in  purchasing cost is one of the important and practical assumptions in the field of inventory control models and it has been less focused in terms of stochastic version of dynamic lot sizing problem. In  this paper, stochastic dyn...

Modeling and Analyzing Incremental Quantity Discounts in Transportation Costs for a Joint Economic Lot Sizing Problem

Joint economic lot sizing (JELS) addresses integrated inventory models in a supply chain. Most of the studies in this field either do not consider the role of the transportation cost in their analysis or consider transportation cost as a fixed part of the ordering costs. In this article, a model is developed to analyze an incremental quantity discount in transportation cost. Appropriate equatio...
