“…A combination of both types of batches is used if the transportation capacity is limited. A review on the use of batches in inventory models can be found in Chang and Chiu (2005). If the quantity ordered or produced in a certain period is not sufficient to satisfy customer demand, shortages occur.…”

“…The cycle of raw material orders, for example, could be an integer multiple of the production cycle if the cost of carrying raw material in inventory are lower than the inventory carrying cost of finished products. Chang and Chiu (2005) provided a review on the use of batch shipments in multi-stage inventory models. The author differentiated works according to whether they consider an equal number of batches between stages, or whether a varying number of batches is permitted or not.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: This paper provides a survey of literature reviews in the area of lot sizing. Its intention is to show which streams of research emerged from Harris' seminal lot size model, and which major achievements have been accomplished in the respective areas. We first develop the methodology of this review and then descriptively analyze the sample. Subsequently, a content-related classification scheme for lot sizing models is developed, and the reviews contained in our sample are discussed in light of this classification scheme. Our analysis shows that various extensions of Harris' lot size model were developed over the years, such as lot sizing models that include multi-stage inventory systems, incentives, or productivity issues. Permanent repository linkThe aims of our tertiary study are the following: firstly, it helps primary researchers to position their own work in the literature, to reproduce the development of different types of lot sizing problems, and to find starting points if they intend to work in a new research direction. Secondly, the study identifies several topics that offer opportunities for future secondary research.

“…When going from the molding and glaze decoration lines to the kiln firing machines, the whole batch of tiles does not need to be fully completed and overlapping is desirable in practice. The process of splitting jobs into sub-lots is usually called lot-streaming, which was first introduced by Reiter (1966) and has become one of the most effective techniques used to implement time-based strategies in today's global competition (Chang and Chiu (2005), Sarin and Jaiprakash (2007)). Generally, there are two different production situations when processing the sub-lots of a job, namely, the idling case and no-idling case.…”

“…The idling case allows idle time on machines. It is known that makespan based on the idling case is shorter than that based on the no-idling case under the same sub-lot type (Chang and Chiu (2005)). However, both cases have their respective practical applications in today's competitive production environments.…”

Lot-streaming flow shops have important applications in different industries including textile, plastic, chemical, semiconductor, and many others. This paper considers an n-job m-machine lot-streaming flow shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times under both the idling and no-idling production cases. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time or makespan. To solve this important practical problem, a novel estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is proposed with a job permutation based representation. In the proposed EDA, an efficient initialization scheme based on the NEH heuristic is presented to construct an initial population with a certain level of quality and diversity. An estimation of a probabilistic model is constructed to direct the algorithm search towards good solutions by taking into account both job permutation and similar blocks of jobs. A simple but effective local search is added to enhance the intensification capability. A diversity controlling mechanism is applied to maintain the diversity of the population. In addition, a speed-up method is presented to reduce the computational effort needed for the local search technique and the NEH-based heuristics. A comparative evaluation is carried out with the best performing algorithms from the literature. The results show that the proposed EDA is very effective in comparison after comprehensive computational and statistical analyses.

“…Even expert systems for choosing priority rules were proposed (see, e.g. : [29]). We have the opinion that the lot-streaming is a much more effective mean for the improvement of FMS schedules than the manipulation of priority rules.…”

The global minimum of completion time for manufacturing systems is determined by the processing capacities of the bottleneck machine-group. How to go close to this minimum for given production tasks is analysed in the paper. Lot streaming can significantly improve the schedules. Hybrid Dynamical Approach (HDA) realizes in automatic way lot streaming and overlapping production. A Brute Force Method (BFM) is proposed in the paper when HDA can not be applied. The essence of this is that the series are divided into the same number of sub-series. The increase of sub-series number stops when the completion time becomes suitable. The effect of setup times is analysed. Theoretical analysis for a simplified problem is performed and planning proposals are provided.Keywords bottleneck scheduling · lot streaming · setup time · hybrid dynamical approach · brute force method · heuristic methods of scheduling · excess time coefficient · setup relation coefficient · joinable schedules.
