In this paper, we consider demand management decisions for an assemble-to-order production system in which both the availability of intermediate material and assembly capacity are limited. For each incoming order, the manufacturer must decide whether to accept it and what due date to quote for...

This paper continues the analysis of a special uncapacitated single item lot sizing problem where a minimum order quantity restriction, instead of the setup cost, guarantees a certain level of production lots. A detailed analysis of the model and an investigation of the particularities of the...

This paper explores a single-item capacitated lot sizing problem with minimum order quantity, which plays the role of minor set-up cost. We work out the necessary and sufficient solvability conditions and apply the general dynamic programming technique to develop an O(T3) exact algorithm that is...
