Abstract: | In many production/distribution systems, materials flow from one stage to another in fixed lot sizes. For example, a retailer orders a full truckload from a manufacturer to qualify for a quantity discount; a factory has a material handling system that moves full containers of parts from one production stage to the next. In this paper, we derive optimal policies for two multi-echelon problems where materials flow in fixed batches. |
