Simultaneous Lot-Sizing and Scheduling with Recovery Options: Problem Formulation and Analysis of the Single-Product Case

Abstract

the first edition carried out in virtual mode, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the participation and commitment of the attendees, the conference was carried out successfully, allowing many young researchers to participate in an international conference, in a year in which these opportunities were scarce. The ICPR-Americas meeting space gave them the opportunity to share their work, as well as exchange ideas and points of view, all in the cordial atmosphere that characterizes the ICPR-Americas conferences.ICPR-Americas 2020 was organized by a local committee of the National University of the South, supported by the university and IFPR.The conference received more than 280 papers, of which 245 were accepted and presented during the conference. The nationality of the authors was representative of the vast majority of the countries of America, not only South America, but also Central and North America. Something that enriched the international experience that each of the participants took from the conference.A couple of events associated with ICPR-Americas 2020 were also held: the "SIMPO-SIO INDUSTRIAL" and the "SEMINARIO de ENSAYOS ESTUDIANTILES". Both events allowed to broaden the scope and attendance of the conference. The accepted and presented works of both events are compiled within this volume.Finally, it only remains for us to thank the National University of the South, especially the Departments of Engineering and Mathematics, as well as the General Secretariat of Science and Technology, for the support provided to carry out the event.
