Supply chain management and advanced planning : basics, overview and challenges

A classification of assembly line balancing problems

Assembly lines are special flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the indus-trial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Recently, assembly lines even gained importance in low volume production of customized products (mass-customization). Due to high capital requirements when installing or redesigning a line, its configuration planning is of great rele-vance for practitioners. Accordingly, this attracted attention of plenty researchers, who tried to sup-port real-world configuration planning by suited optimization models (assembly line balancing prob-lems). In spite of the enormous academic effort in assembly line balancing, there remains a consider-able gap between requirements of real configuration problems and the status of research. To ease communication between researchers and practitioners, we provide a classification scheme of assem-bly line balancing. This is a valuable step in identifying remaining research challenges which might contribute to closing the gap.

Lot sizing is one of the most important and also one of the most difficult problems in production planning. This subject has been studied extensively in the literature. In this article, we consider single-level lot sizing problems, their variants and solution approaches. After introducing factors affecting formulation and the complexity of production planning problems, and introducing different variants of lot sizing and scheduling problems, we discuss single-level lot sizing problems, together with exact and heuristic approaches for their solution. We conclude with some suggestions for future research.

The capacitated lot sizing problem: a review of models and algorithms

Supplier selection and order lot sizing modeling: A review

This paper presents a review of four decades of research on dynamic lot-sizing with capacity constraints. We discuss both different modeling approaches to the optimization problems and different algorithmic solution approaches. The focus is on research that separates the lot-sizing problem from the detailed sequencing and scheduling problem. Our conceptional point of reference is the multi-level capacitated lot-sizing problem (MLCLSP). We show how different streams of research emerged over time. One result is that many practically important problems are still far from being solved in the sense that they could routinely be solved close to optimality in industrial practice. Our review also shows that currently mathematical programing and the use of metaheuristics are particularly popular among researchers in a vivid and flourishing field of research.

Dynamic capacitated lot-sizing problems: a classification and review of solution approaches

In this paper a heuristic approach for the dynamic multilevel multiitem lotsizing problem in general product structures with multiple constrained resources and setup times is proposed. With the help of Lagrangean relaxation the capacitated multilevel multiitem lotsizing problem is decomposed into several uncapacitated single-item lotsizing problems. From the solutions of these single-item problems lower bounds on the minimum objective function value are derived. Upper bounds are generated by means of a heuristic finite scheduling procedure. The quality of the approach is tested with reference to various problem groups of differing sizes.

Solving a multi-level capacitated lot sizing problem with multi-period setup carry-over via a fix-and-optimize heuristic

The current paper presents a structured overview over the literature on dynamic simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling problems. We introduce a classification scheme, review the historical development of research in this area and identify recent developments. The main contribution of the present review is the discussion of the historical development of the body of knowledge in the field of simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling and the identification of recent trends. This helps to reveal research opportunities, but it can also be helpful in the selection of appropriate models for industrial applications.
