Abstract:

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 derived. The objective is to minimize the sum of setup costs, work-in-process inventory costs and finished products inventory costs per unit of time. Since the proposed model is NP-hard, an efficient Water Cycle Algorithm is proposed to solve the model. To justify proposed WCA, Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and combination of GA and simplex are utilized. In order to determine the best value of algorithms parameters that result in a better solution, a fine-tuning procedure according to Response Surface Methodology is executed.

Simultaneous Lot Sizing and Scheduling in a Flexible Flow Line

This paper breaks new ground by modelling lot sizing and scheduling in a flexible flow line (FFL) simultaneously instead of separately. This problem, called the ‘General Lot sizing and Scheduling Problem in a Flexible Flow Line’ (GLSP-FFL), optimizes the lot sizing and scheduling of multiple products at multiple stages, each stage having multiple machines in parallel. The objective is to satisf...

Relax and Fix Heuristics for Simultaneous Lot Sizing and Sequencing the Permutation Flow Shops with Sequence-Dependent Setups

  This paper proposes two relax and fix heuristics for the simultaneous lot sizing and sequencing problem in permutation flow shops involving sequence-dependent setups and capacity constraints. To evaluate the effectiveness of mentioned heuristics, two lower bounds are developed and compared against the optimal solution. The results of heuristics are compared with the selected lower bound .

The Finite Horizon Economic Lot Scheduling in Flexible Flow Lines

This paper addresses the common cycle multi-product lot-scheduling problem in flexible flow lines (FFL) where the product demands are deterministic and constant over a finite planning horizon. Objective is minimizing the sum of setup costs, work-in-process and final products inventory holding costs per time unite while satisfying the demands without backlogging. This problem consists of a combi...

Economic lot-sizing games

In this paper we introduce a new class of OR games: economic lot-sizing (ELS) games. There are a number of retailers that have a known demand for a fixed number of periods. To satisfy demand the retailers order products at the same manufacturer. By placing joint orders instead of individual orders, costs can be reduced and a cooperative game arises. In this paper we show that ELS games are bala...

Solving Multi-level, Multi-product and Multi-period Lot Sizing and Scheduling Problem in Permutation Flow Shop

In this paper, a new model of capacitated lot sizing and scheduling in a permutation flow shop is developed. In this model demand can be totally backlogged. Setups can be carryover and are sequence-dependent. It is well-known from literatures that capacitated lot sizing problem in permutation flow shop systems are NP-hard. This means the model is solved in polynomial time and metaheuristics alg...

A Basic Period Approach for Solving the Economic Lot and Delivery Scheduling in Flexible Flow Lines

In this paper, the problem of lot sizing, scheduling and delivery of several items in a two-stage supply chain over a finite planning horizon is studied. Single supplier via a flexible flow line production system (FFL), produces several items and delivers them directly to an assembly facility. Based on basic period (BP) strategy, a new mixed zero-one nonlinear programming model has been develop...
