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...

Lot sizing and scheduling in flow shop has been considered in this paper. Our study includes a multi-level and multi-period capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problem (CLSP) with sequence-dependent setups, setups carry over in flow shop. In manufacturing environments backlogging is unavoidable. If the production capacity is infinite, any demand can be satisfied

Many authors have examined lot sizing, scheduling and sequence of multi-product flow shops, but most of them have assumed that set up times are independent of sequence. Whereas dependence of set up times to sequence is more common in practice. Hence, in this paper, we examine the discussed problem with hypothesis of dependence of set up times to sequence and cyclic schedule policy in basic peri...

This paper proposes an inverse lot-sizing model for eliciting the cost parameters (the setup, holding, and backlog costs) of a supplier from earlier demand vs. optimal lot-size pairs. It is assumed that the supplier solves a single-item, multi-period, uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs to optimality to calculate its lot-sizes, and the buyer is aware of this fact. The inverse optimiz...

The paper presents the shape and discrete sizing optimization of timber trusses with the consideration of joint flexibility. The optimization was performed by the Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) approach. In the optimization model an economic objective function for minimizing the structure's selfmanufacturing costs was defined. The design conditions in accordance with Eurocode 5 wer...

Analysis of inventory systems involving market-oriented pricing decisions has recently become an interesting topic in the field of inventory control. Price and marketing expenditure are considered as important elements when selling goods and enhancing revenues by manufacturers. The importance of accounting for uncertainty in such environments spurs an interest to develop appropriate decision ma...
