Abstract

The model presented in this paper assumes that a uniform lot size is produced through a series of manufacturing stages, with a single set-up and without interruption at each stage. Transportation of partial lots, called batches, is allowed between stages after the whole batch is completed. The batch sizes must be equal at any particular stage, but the optimal number of equal-sized batches may differ across stages. Of course, the set-up costs, the inventory-holding costs and the transportation costs influence both the optimal batch-sizes at the various stages and the uniform lot size. An optimization method for this deterministic model is developed and is illustrated by an example.
