This study investigates economic lot-size scheduling problem (ELSP) comprising stochastic demand and equally sized batch shipment policy in a one-supplier multi-buyer integrated inventory model. All buyers have agreed on a joint replenishment policy with a common replenishment cycle (CRC)....

Bottleneck appears in a serial supply chain if the minimum production rate at all stages is smaller than the demand rate. Operation manager must focus on keeping the bottleneck stage fully utilized and forcing the other stages to produce in synch with the bottleneck. This study applies the lot...
