While many review articles exist on (deterministic) lot sizing models used in the context of price and quantity discounts, buyer–vendor coordination, supply chain management, and joint economic lot sizing problems, they do not convey the impact of important findings which date back to at least 2002, or, in hindsight, to 1984. As a result, many recent articles still model the financial implicati...

In this research we develop mathematical models of Joint Economic Lot-sizing Problem (JELP) in a situation when a supplier offers time-based temporary price discounts to a buyer during a sale period. To respond this, the buyer places a special order with higher quantity. In literature, it has been assumed that the buyer tends to place the special order at the end of the sale period. We relax th...

This paper addresses a new mixed integer nonlinear and linear mathematical programming economic lot sizing and scheduling problem in distributed permutation flow shop problem with number of identical factories and machines. Different products must be distributed between the factories and then assignment of products to factories and sequencing of the products assigned to each factory has to be d...

In this paper, we consider a lot-sizing problem with the remanufacturing option under parameter uncertainties imposed on demands and returns. Remanufacturing has recently been fast growing area of interest for many researchers due to increasing awareness reducing waste in production environments, particular studies involving simultaneously are very scarce literature. We first present min-max de...
