Inventory, investment, and pricing policies for lot-size decision makers
… inventory, investment, and pricing policies for lot-size decision makers are examined based on classical economic order quantity. Specifically, we focus on investment in setup operations, investment in quality improvement, and market dependent products such as substitutes and complements. We …

Simultaneous Lot sizing and Lead-time Setting (SLLS)Via Queuing Theory and Heuristic search
… and scheduling. Planned lead-time (PLT) and lot size are two of the input parameters for MRP systems, which determine planned order release dates. Presently, planned lead-time and lot size are estimated using independent methodologies. No existing PLT estimation methods consider factors such …

A performance analysis of model based inventory policies for procurement of direct material items
A specialized lot size model for procurement of direct material items is applied in a specific manufacturing firm. Simulation studies are utilized for determining the effectiveness of the lot size model for use in a multiproduct MRP production system having a specific product structure. Measures of …

Lean manufacturing in a mass customization plant : improvement of Kanban policy and implementation
… situation. Recommendations included a shorter lot size review period, larger safety factor and a new lot size decision making strategy based on historical demand.

Efficacy of the Microtally® Mitt for sampling of beef carcasses
… the Microtally® Mitt (MT-Mitt) is a sterile cloth mitt approved for sampling beef trim. However, the efficacy of the MT-Mitt for sampling beef carcasses has not been validated. Therefore, the objectives of Phase 1 of this Study were to identify an appropriate lot size for carcass sampling …

Product availability improvement for an analytical consumables supply chain : distribution and transportation
… Further optimization on inventory using lot size-reorder point model with manufacturing lot size constraint reduces the total cost of inventory. As a result of constructing a single global distribution center, the product availability can be improved to 100% for products with current …

Virginia feeder cattle basis by season, location, sex, breed, weight and USDA grade differentials
… by season, futures contract month, weight, lot size, sex, breed and USDA grade differentials. The models are more disaggregated and explain up to 80 percent more of feeder cattle basis variation than any previous research. Since the variables in these explanatory models are all known in …

Integrated supply and production network design
… algorithms which optimize (1) the product lot size and (2) job scheduling on machines. EOQ and a Mixed Integer Program were both analyzed for lot size determination, with the latter demonstrating more cost efficient and production efficient results due to more flexibility with the time …

High Velocity Supply Chain: Redesigning a Long Lead Time, Short Shelf Life Supply Chain
… problem in supply chain theory: that of optimum lot size. We find using a Monte Carlo model that increasing lot size (or order minimums) beyond what is required during a review period increases stockout risk.

Supply chain optimization : formulations and algorithms
… with multiple products. Beginning with a lot-size based formulation, we strengthen the formulation in steps to develop one which is a variation of a node-arc formulation for the network design problem. In addition, we present a path-flow formulation for the single product case and an …

An experimental investigation: uncertainty in MRP systems
… amount of safety lead time buffering, and the lot-size rule on the average total cost of an MRP system. In addition, the question of whether the results obtained are sensitive to changes in the system's cost parameters is examined. Based on the results, guidelines are developed for …

Evaluation of the economic impact of operational tactics at an electronics manufacturer
… tactics of non-value added time, setup time and lot size reduction for reducing manufacturing cycle time at a large electronics manufacturer were evaluated with economic measures. Features of one of the assembly lines were modeled using actual production data. The simulation model developed …

Relationship between growth patterns and planning practices: a case study of the city of Roanoke
… categories. The 1966 ordinance's large minimum lot sizes hindered the application of residential zoning categories by stopping small scale, inner city developments. The 1966 ordinance fostered the expansion of commercial and industrial zoning categories through an absence of lot size …

Two Cost Analyses in Resource Economics: The Public Service Costs of Alternative Land Settlement Patterns and Effluent Allowance Trading in Long Island Sound
… spatial form are explicitly defined in terms of lot size, distance and tract dispersion. An engineering cost model is used to determine the water and sewer costs to three sets of hypothetical land settlement scenarios. Each set shows the effect of one component of spatial form on cost. The …
