CASE STUDY SUMMARY
This case study demonstrates an optimization setup and relevant graphs for a single item capacitated lot size model. For a finite time horizon T, there is demand for a single item in each production period. This demand must be satisfied by the production in that period or by inventory from previous periods, that is, no backlogging is allowed. The production level cannot exceed a certain capacity limit. Two kinds of costs are considered, production cost and holding cost. Production, if initiated in a certain period, requires initial setup cost. We are trying to find a feasible production plan that minimizes total costs.
