Dear colleagues,

 

we are kindly inviting you to submit an abstract to the stream Lot Sizing, Lot Scheduling and Production Planning (organized by the EURO Working Group on Lot Sizing - EWG LOT)

If you are interested in organizing a special session (consisting of at least 4 presentations) within this stream, please contact one of the stream organizers.

 

Within this stream we seek contributions to cover recent advances in lot-sizing on the following topics among others:

 

• Applications of lot sizing in real world cases including implementation of case-studies discussing organizational challenges and data issues;
• Lot sizing for smart factories;
• Integration of lot-sizing with other problems, such as: scheduling, distribution and vehicle routing, procurement, and cutting and packing;
• Extensions of lot sizing models, including (but are not limited to):  non-triangular setups, period-overlapping setups,
• multiple resource types, blocking, synchronization, multi-level and multi-machine systems, perishable goods, green lot sizing;
• Solution methods for lot-sizing problems: heuristics, metaheuristics, exact methods, and hybrid approaches;
• Replanning and rescheduling, especially in the context of stochastic production environments.
• Stochastic lot-sizing problems
