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...

Coordinating procurement decisions for a family of products that share a constrained resource, such as an ocean shipping container, is an important managerial problem. However due to the problem's difficult mathematical properties, efficient and effective solution procedures for the problem have...

Joint replenishment problems are commonly encountered in purchasing, manufacturing, and transportation planning. Literature evaluates various algorithmic approaches for solving the joint replenishment problem in a static environment, but their relative performance in a dynamic rolling horizon...
