Multistage Lot-Sizing: An Iterative Procedure.

Abstract

This paper considers the lot-sizing problem in a multistage inventory system. External demand may occur at any stage, and is assumed to be known over a finite horizon. A heuristic iterative procedure is proposed and tested for finding a periodic review schedule to minimize inventory and setup costs. (Author)
