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.
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 ...
In inventory theory, the (Q,r) model is used to determine optimal ordering policies. [1] Its is a class of inventory control models that generalize and combine elements of both the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and the base stock model . [ 2 ]
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 ...
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 ...
The Silver–Meal heuristic is a production planning method in manufacturing, composed in 1973 [1] by Edward A. Silver and H.C. Meal. Its purpose is to determine production quantities to meet the requirement of operations at minimum cost.
Jack D. Rogers (1919 – January 15, 2002) was an American management scientist, and Professor Emeritus in the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, who coined the term Economic lot scheduling problem in 1958. [1] [2]
Treating productive organizations as complex adaptive systems allows for new management models that address economical, social and environmental benefits (Pisek and Wilson, 2001.) [11] In that field, cluster theory (Porter, 1990) [12] evolved in more environmentally sensitive theories, like industrial ecology (Frosh and Gallopoulos, 1989) [13] and industrial symbiosis (Chertow, 2000).
