Production and delivery scheduling problem with delivery times and costs dependent on batch-size

In this paper, the authors study a real-industrial case of an integrated lot sizing and delivery scheduling problem with multi-capacitated transporters, distinct due dates considerations and batch-size-dependent delivery times and costs. The objective is to find a coordinated lot sizing and scheduling scheme so that the total cost is minimised while guaranteeing a certain service level at the manufacturers. A mathematical formulation of the problem is given as a nonlinear model in a general way. The authors prove dominance properties among the solutions of the problem and propose two solving methods. The first one is a generalised dynamic programming scheme to solve this problem in the case of homogeneous and heterogeneous transporters, and the second one is a mixed integer programming formulation proposed to evaluate the performance of the dynamic programming method. Computational experiments show that the proposed approach is very efficient for solving from small to medium-sized instances, especially for the identical transporter case.
