  3. Economic lot scheduling problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_lot_scheduling...

    The economic lot scheduling problem (ELSP) is a problem in operations management and inventory theory that has been studied by many researchers for more than 50 years. The term was first used in 1958 by professor Jack D. Rogers of Berkeley, [1] who extended the economic order quantity model to the case where there are several products to be produced on the same machine, so that one must decide ...

  4. Dynamic lot-size model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_lot-size_model

    The dynamic lot-size model in inventory theory, is a generalization of the economic order quantity model that takes into account that demand for the product varies over time. The model was introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventory_theory

    Material theory (or more formally the mathematical theory of inventory and production) is the sub-specialty within operations research and operations management that is concerned with the design of production/inventory systems to minimize costs: it studies the decisions faced by firms and the military in connection with manufacturing, warehousing, supply chains, spare part allocation and so on ...

    Planning data. This includes all the restraints and directions to produce such items as: routing, labor and machine standards, quality and testing standards, pull/work cell and push commands, lot sizing techniques (i.e. fixed lot size, lot-for-lot, economic order quantity), scrap percentages, and other inputs.

    The EPQ model was developed and published by E. W. Taft, a statistical engineer working at Winchester Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1918. [1] This method is an extension of the economic order quantity model (also known as the EOQ model). The difference between these two methods is that the EPQ model assumes the company ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_order_quantity

    The EOQ model and its sister, the economic production quantity model (EPQ), have been criticised for "their restrictive set[s] of assumptions. [13] Guga and Musa make use of the model for an Albanian business case study and conclude that the model is "perfect theoretically, but not very suitable from the practical perspective of this firm". [14]

    To satisfy the demand for period 1, 2, 3 Producing lot 1, 2 and 3 in one setup give us an average cost: C ( 3 ) = K + h r 2 + 2 h r 3 3 {\displaystyle C(3)={\frac {K+hr_{2}+2hr_{3}}{3}}} The average cost =( the setup cost + the inventory holding cost of the lot required in period 2+ the inventory holding cost of the lot required in period 3 ...
