Abstract

The editorial section of International Journal of Production Research provides information about industrial extensions and research opportunities in the fields of lot sizing and scheduling in industries. Some of the papers published in the journal reveal that the processing industry provides significant opportunities for conducting research in these areas. The scheduling of production lots and their sizing is an area of increasing research attention within the wider field of production planning and scheduling. The close relationship between lot sizing and scheduling in many industrial applications makes it essential that these decisions are made simultaneously to use capacity efficiently. Traditional models have been increasingly refined to incorporate more detail and integrate lot sizing with scheduling. Researchers and practitioners worldwide have been making efforts to incorporate more specificities of the production environment in their models besides the integration of several independent self-contained research fields.
