This paper presents a systematic procedure for obtaining the optimum packaging frequencies for a number of items which are manufactured jointly but packaged individually immediately alter manufacture. The method described in the paper is equally applicable to those problems where the optimum...

In my paper [Goyal, S. K. 1974. Determination of optimum packaging frequency of items jointly replenished. Management Sci. 21 (4, December) 436-443.], an algorithm is given for determining the optimum packaging frequency of jointly replenished items. Essentially the procedure involves...

Rosenblatt and Kaspi (Rosenblatt, M. J., M. Kaspi. 1985. A dynamic programming algorithm for joint replenishment under general order cost functions. Management Sci. 31 (March) 369--373.) suggested a dynamic programming algorithm for partitioning a number of items ordered from a single supplier....

This paper presents a method for computing the lot size to be produced each time each product is scheduled for production when all products are produced on a single machine. The method also computes the distribution of lot size for each product. The demand for each product is a stochastic...

Lee and Rosenblatt (Lee, H. L., M. J. Rosenblatt. 1986. A generalized quantity discount pricing model to increase supplier's profits. Management Sci. 32 (9) 1177--1185.) considered the joint problem of ordering and offering discount by a supplier to his sole buyer, the objective of the supplier...

The model described in this paper is typically applicable to the batch processing industry where a batch of a product is packaged into several container types immediately after manufacture. An example involving 10 jointly replenished items has been solved for illustrating the recommended approach.
