“…Several classical formulations and different approximated solution methods have been used to represent and solve lot sizing and scheduling problems in industrial applications. Some of them can be found in the tobacco industry (Pattloch et al, 2001), textile (Silva & Magalhaes, 2006), yogurt (Marinelli et al, 2007), soft drinks (Toledo et al, 2007(Toledo et al, , 2009(Toledo et al, , 2011Ferreira et al, 2008Ferreira et al, , 2009, electrofused-grains (Luche & Morabito, 2005;Luche et al, 2009), animal feed (Toso & Morabito, 2005;Toso et al, 2008Toso et al, , 2009Clark et al, 2010;Augusto et al, 2014), foundry (Araujo et al, 2004(Araujo et al, , 2007Luche & Morabito, 2005), glass industry (Almada-Lobo et al, 2008), among other industrial settings. These applications report some adaptations and extensions of the classical formulations in the literature, so that characteristics and decisions of real systems are included in their mathematical models.…”
