This chapter intends to give an overview of the literature on dynamic lot-sizing models and stochastic transshipment models. These two types of models are used as a basis for developing models with substitution in the following chapters. Section 2.1 contains a classification of models for dynamic lot-sizing / production planning, and selected models. In Sect. 2.2, we give a brief overview of av...

In this paper, a novel way of modeling uncertainty on demand in the single-item dynamic lot sizing problem is proposed and studied. The not related to quantity, but rather timing, i.e., fully occurs single period given time interval with probability no partial delivery allowed. first motivated modeled. Our naturally correlates uncertain demands different periods contrary most literature sizing....
