Ergo-Lot-Sizing: Considering Ergonomics in Lot-Sizing Decisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
One aspect that has mostly been overlooked in traditional economic lot-sizing is the implication of decisions on manual tasks and workload. Although lot-sizing decisions can have a significant impact on required manual material handling and on human performance, works that consider ergonomic aspects in lot-sizing are rare. This paper presents a model that integrates ergonomic aspect in terms of human energy expenditure and rest allowance in a traditional lot-sizing model. The behavior of the model is analyzed in a numerical study, showing its ability to reflect manual workload, and that ergonomic aspects should be considered in lot-sizing decisions.

Incorporating Return on Inventory Investment into Joint Lot-Sizing and Price Discriminating Decisions: A Fuzzy Chance Constraint Programming Model
Coordination of market decisions with other aspects of operations management such as production and inventory decisions has long been a meticulous research issue in supply chain management. Generally, changes to the original lot-sizing policy stimulated by market prices may impose remarkable deviation revenue throughout the supply and demand chain system. This paper examines how to set the chan...

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...
متن کاملSimultaneous Lot Sizing and Scheduling in a Flexible Flow Line
This paper breaks new ground by modelling lot sizing and scheduling in a flexible flow line (FFL) simultaneously instead of separately. This problem, called the ‘General Lot sizing and Scheduling Problem in a Flexible Flow Line’ (GLSP-FFL), optimizes the lot sizing and scheduling of multiple products at multiple stages, each stage having multiple machines in parallel. The objective is to satisf...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Multi-machine Multi-level Proportional Lot Sizing and Scheduling Model for Product-Life-Cycle Demand
Often lot sizing and scheduling models have neglected the consideration of influence of product life cycles (PLCs). But, accordingly as desirable in a firm’s production strategy, decisions of lot sizing scheduling may have to respond to the stage changes in a product’s life cycle. In this paper, we propose an extension of the lot sizing scheduling, the multi-item, multi-level product-structure...
