| Abstract: | When making lot-sizing decisions, managers often use a model of horizon T that is much smaller than any reasonable estimate of the firm's future horizon. The authors present a method to mitigate end-effects in lot sizing by including a valuation term V(It) for end-of-horizon inventory It, in the objective function of the short-horizon model. |
