A Note of the Deterministic Demand Multi-Product Single-Machine Lot Scheduling Problem.

Abstract

This note considers two single-machine multi-product scheduling problems with deterministic demand that have appeared in the management science literature: the economic lot scheduling problem and the joint replenishment problem. These problems are shown to be equivalent. In addition, they are shown to be equivalent to a one-warehouse, several-retailer inventory problem for which exists an efficient branch and bound solution procedure. (Author)
