Some Valid Constraints for the Capacitated Assembly Line Lotsizing Problem

  • Conference paper
Operations Research in Production Planning and Control

Abstract

In modelling general multifacility, capacitated lotsizing problems structures of the single end-item (single product) assembly line type quite frequently emerge. On higher aggregated levels of production planning this may be the case, because assembly line structures in many instances provide sufficiently close approximations of actually more general production environments. On more detailed levels of production planning (material requirements planning) single product assembly line structures can be found mainly for two reasons: First, because the lotsizing problem under consideration simply happens to exhibit exactly this structure. Second, because the general structure of numerous MRP-problems contains substructures, which can be formulated as single product assembly line problems. It would seem therefore rather promising to examine this type of problem in greater detail since many actual applications could be expected to benefit from improved solution procedures.
