Suggested Citation: Wolter, Anja; Helber, Stefan (2013) : Simultaneous production and maintenance planning for a single capacitated resource facing both a dynamic demand and intensive wear and tear, Discussion AbstractThis paper presents a generic modeling framework to simultaneously decide about production quantities and maintenance operations for a capacitated resource facing a dynamic demand for different types of products. As the resource needs to be setup for each specific type of product, a lot-sizing problem occurs. In addition it is assumed that production causes intensive wear and tear. For this reason frequent maintenance activities need to be coordinated with the production operations in order to efficiently use the capacitated resource. A single generic model is presented to capture alternative forms of maintenance and different modes of interaction between maintenance and setups. As the model is numerically intractable for standard branch & bound algorithms, we solve it heuristically via a decomposition using a Fix-and-Optimize approach. Numerical results show that the proposed solution method produces high-quality results quickly. We further study the impact of simultaneous vs. sequential decisions about production and maintenance in the case of intensive wear and tear.

“…It is, therefore, critical that metaheuristic testing occurs on the large problems for which optimal solutions could not be calculated in reasonable runtimes. As discussed in [19], it is not enough to test on small problem instances and extrapolate the results for larger instances; algorithms can perform differently in both runtime and solution quality on large problem instances.…”

“…Since some dynamic lot sizing problems may be difficult to solve, several authors have developed meta-heuristics to find good solutions to these problems. Jans and Degraeve (2007) gave an overview of meta-heuristics for dynamic lot sizing and showed that especially simulated annealing, tabu search and genetic algorithms have frequently been used to solve this type of lot sizing problem. Neural networks and threshold accepting, in contrast, have only been used very infrequently in this domain.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: This paper provides a survey of literature reviews in the area of lot sizing. Its intention is to show which streams of research emerged from Harris' seminal lot size model, and which major achievements have been accomplished in the respective areas. We first develop the methodology of this review and then descriptively analyze the sample. Subsequently, a content-related classification scheme for lot sizing models is developed, and the reviews contained in our sample are discussed in light of this classification scheme. Our analysis shows that various extensions of Harris' lot size model were developed over the years, such as lot sizing models that include multi-stage inventory systems, incentives, or productivity issues. Permanent repository linkThe aims of our tertiary study are the following: firstly, it helps primary researchers to position their own work in the literature, to reproduce the development of different types of lot sizing problems, and to find starting points if they intend to work in a new research direction. Secondly, the study identifies several topics that offer opportunities for future secondary research.
