The stochastic lot-sizing problem with quantity discounts

Modeling and Analyzing Incremental Quantity Discounts in Transportation Costs for a Joint Economic Lot Sizing Problem

Joint economic lot sizing (JELS) addresses integrated inventory models in a supply chain. Most of the studies in this field either do not consider the role of the transportation cost in their analysis or consider transportation cost as a fixed part of the ordering costs. In this article, a model is developed to analyze an incremental quantity discount in transportation cost. Appropriate equatio...

A heuristic to solve the dynamic lot sizing problem with supplier selection and quantity discounts

In the present study, the single-item dynamic lot sizing problem with supplier selection is investigated. The problem is broken down into two different cases. In the first case, quantity discounts are not taken into account; in the second case, incremental and all-unit quantity discounts are considered. Due to the complexity of the problems, a new heuristic is developed, which is based on the F...

OPTIMIZATION OF A PRODUCTION LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH QUANTITY DISCOUNT

Dynamic lot sizing problem is one of the significant problem in industrial units and it has been considered by  many researchers. Considering the quantity discount in  purchasing cost is one of the important and practical assumptions in the field of inventory control models and it has been less focused in terms of stochastic version of dynamic lot sizing problem. In  this paper, stochastic dyn...
