Hybrid heuristics for planning lot setups and sizes (2003)
Journal Article
Clark, A. (2003). Hybrid heuristics for planning lot setups and sizes. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 45(4), 545-562. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0360-8352%2803%2900073-1

The planning of a canning line at a drinks manufacturer is discussed and formulated as a mathematical programming model. Several alternative heuristic solution methods are developed, tested and compared on real data, illustrating the trade-offs betwe...

A heuristic method for lot-sizing in multi-stage systems (1997)
Journal Article
Clark, A. R., Armentano, V. A., França, P. M., França, P. M., Armentano, V. A., Berretta, R. E., & Clark, A. (1997). A heuristic method for lot-sizing in multi-stage systems. Computers and Operations Research, 24(9), 861-874. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0305-0548%2896%2900097-4

This article considers the lot-sizing problem in multi-stage production settings with capacity-constrained resources. This problem deals with the determination of a production plan for the end item and its components in order to meet the forecast dem...
