Cyclic lot-sizing problems with sequencing costs

Online lot-sizing problems with ordering, holding and shortage costs

We study inventorymanagement problemswhere demands are revealed incrementally and procurement decisionsmust bemade before the demands are realized. There are no probabilistic distributions nor nontrivial bounds to characterize demands. We consider two cost minimization problems: (1) perishable products with lost sales and (2) durable products with backlogged demand. In both problems, costs are ...

Uncapacitated Lot-Sizing Problems with Start-Up Costs

Lot sizing with rework and different inspection costs

This paper deals with the single machine multi-product lot scheduling problem in which defective items are produced in any production run of each product. We have adopted the common cycle scheduling policy and assumed that the setup times for production of each product can be non-zero. Further, we have assumed that defective items will be reworked and the inspection costs during the normal prod...

Lot Sizing with Piecewise Concave Production Costs

We study the lot-sizing problem with piecewise concave production costs and concave holding costs. This problem is a generalization of the lot-sizing problem with quantity discounts, minimum order quantities, capacities, overloading, subcontracting or a combination of these. We develop a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm to solve this problem and answer an open question in the literature: we s...
