This paper describes a mixed-integer programming formulation and dual ascent based branch-and-bound algorithm for the multiproduct dynamic demand coordinated replenishment problem with backlogging. The single sourcing properties of the formulation and the hierarchical structure of the...

Growing interest in designing systems with capacity slack as one form of flexibility raises many questions about its use and its usefulness. In the framework of the economic lot scheduling problem with stochastic demand, we develop on optimization-based model that considers capacity slack,...
