Due to their importance in industry and mathematical complexity, dynamic demand lot-sizing problems are frequently studied. In this article, we consider coordinated lot-size problems, their variants and exact and heuristic solutions approaches. The problem class provides a comprehensive approach...

This research studies master production schedule (MPS) and advanced order commitment (AOC) in two-stage supply chains. Experimental analysis, based on computer simulation, evaluates the impact of environmental and MPS design factors on optimal policy design as measured by schedule cost and...
