چکیده

An explicit description of the convex hull of solutions to the uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogging, in its natural space of production, setup, inventory and backlogging variables, has been an open question for many years. In this paper, we identify valid inequalities that subsume all previously known valid inequalities for this problem. We show that these inequalities are enough to describe the convex hull of solutions. We give polynomial separation algorithms for some special cases. Finally, we report a summary of computational experiments with our inequalities that illustrates their effectiveness.

Core Discussion Paper 9917 the Uncapacitated Lot-sizing Problem with Sales and Safety Stocks

We examine a variant of the uncapacitated lot-sizing model of WagnerWhitin involving sales instead of fixed demands, and lower bounds on stocks. Two extended formulations are presented, as well as a dynamic programming algorithm and a complete description of the convex hull of solutions. When the lower bounds on stocks are non-decreasing over time, it is possible to describe an extended formula...

Polyhedral analysis for the two-item uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with one-way substitution

We consider a production planning problem for two items where the high quality item can substitute the demand for the low quality item. Given the number of periods, the demands, the production, inventory holding, setup and substitution costs, the problem is to find a minimum cost production and substitution plan. This problem generalizes thewell-known uncapacitated lot-sizing problem.We study t...

A Note on "Lot-sizing with fixed charges on stocks: The convex hull"

We update and complete the proof of Proposition 7 in Van Vyve and Ortega (2004), which states that the projection of a facility location reformulation of an uncapacitated lot sizing problem with fixed charges on stocks (ULSW) to the original space is equivalent to that of the tight shortest path reformulation of ULSW. Their proof is interesting and consists of two cases, only first of which is ...

Algorithms for Stochastic Lot-Sizing Problems with Backlogging

As a traditional model in the operations research and management science domain, deterministic lot-sizing problem is embedded in many application problems such as production and inventory planning and has been consistently drawing attentions from researchers. In this paper we consider basic versions of lot-sizing models in which problem parameters are stochastic and develop corresponding scenar...

Mixing Sets Linked by Bidirected Paths

Recently there has been considerable research on simple mixed-integer sets, called mixing sets, and closely related sets arising in uncapacitated and constant capacity lot-sizing. This in turn has led to study of more general sets, called network-dual sets, for which it is possible to derive extended formulations whose projection gives the convex hull of the network-dual set. Unfortunately this...
