A dual algorithm for the economic lot-sizing problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
A linear description for the economic lot-sizing problem consisting of exponentially many linear inequalities was given by Barany, Van Roy and Wolsey in 1984. Using this formulation we present a dual algorithm for the economic lot-sizing problem, which is of the same complexity as the Wagner and Whitin dynamic programming algorithm. Besides its use in sensitivity analysis the dual algorithm also provides an alternative proof of the fact that the linear description is complete.

A POLYNOMIAL TIME BRANCH AND BOUND ALGORITHM FOR THE SINGLE ITEM ECONOMIC LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH ALL UNITS DISCOUNT AND RESALE
The purpose of this paper is to present a polynomial time algorithm which determines the lot sizes for purchase component in Material Requirement Planning (MRP) environments with deterministic time-phased demand with zero lead time. In this model, backlog is not permitted, the unit purchasing price is based on the all-units discount system and resale of the excess units is possible at the order...

In this study, a two-echelon supplier-manufacturer system with finite production rate and lead time is proposed. It is assumed that shortage is not permitted and the lot size of manufacturer (second echelon) is m-factors of the lot size of supplier (first echelon) and supplier can supply the manufacturer’s lot size in several shipments in each cyc...

In this paper an integrated lot-sizing and scheduling problem in a flexible job shop environment with machine-capacity-constraint is studied. The main objective is to minimize the total cost which includes the inventory costs, production costs and the costs of machine’s idle times. First, a new mixed integer programming model,with small bucket time approach,based onProportional Lot sizing and S...
متن کاملA Vibration Damping Optimization Algorithm for Solving the Single-item Capacitated Lot-sizing Problem with Fuzzy Parameters
In this paper, we propose a vibration damping optimization algorithm to solve a fuzzy mathematical model for the single-item capacitated lot-sizing problem. At first, a fuzzy mathematical model for the single-item capacitated lot-sizing problem is presented. The possibility approach is chosen to convert the fuzzy mathematical model to crisp mathematical model. The obtained crisp model is in the...
