This paper presents two polynomial time algorithms for the constant capacitated lot sizing problem with a batch production. We give several optimality properties for the general problem. Assuming constant production capacity, constant batch size and Wagner-Whitin cost structure, we derive O(T 4) and O(T 6) time algorithms respectively for the case with production capacity multiple of the batch size and for the case with arbitrary fixed capacities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
