Simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling problems: a classification and review of models

The current paper presents a structured overview over the literature on dynamic simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling problems. We introduce a classification scheme, review the historical development of research in this area and identify recent developments. The main contribution of the present review is the discussion of the historical development of the body of knowledge in the field of simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling and the identification of recent trends. This helps to reveal research opportunities, but it can also be helpful in the selection of appropriate models for industrial applications.
