Comparison of heuristics for an economic lot scheduling problem with deliberated coproduction
Abstract: We built on the
Economic Lot Scheduling Problem Scheduling (ELSP) literature by making some
modifications in order to introduce new constraints which had not been
thoroughly studied with a view to simulating specific real situations.
Specifically, our aim is to propose and simulate different scheduling policies
for a new ELSP variant: Deliberated Coproduction. This problem comprises a
product system in an ELSP environment in which we may choose if more than one
product can be produced on the machine at a given time. We expressly consider
the option of coproducing two products whose demand is not substitutable. In
order to draw conclusions, a simulation model and its results were developed in
the article by employing modified Bomberger data which include two items that
could be produced simultaneously.
