In this paper, we investigate a two-stage lot-sizing and scheduling problem in a spinning industry. A new hybrid method called HOPS (Hamming-Oriented Partition Search), which is a branch-and-bound based procedure that incorporates a fix-and-optimize improvement method is proposed to solve the...

This article provides a short historical overview from Harris and his Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula to the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem (ELSP). The aim is to describe the development of the ELSP field from the EOQ formula to the advanced methods of today in a manner that suits master...

In today's challenging industrial contexts, decision makers need versatile tools to quickly acquire, synthesize, simulate and optimize several solutions that can be compared from multiple points of view and according to various performance criteria. In the context of limited-time multicriteria...
