RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling - extensions and solution approaches A1 Wörbelauer,Martin WP 2018/03/27 AB The present thesis focuses on simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling. A comprehensive review of the literature is presented in which the historical development of the subject and the current research gaps are, based on a classification scheme, described. Additionally, a review focusing on so-called „secondary resources“ (e.g., setup operators or raw materials), which are considered alongside the primary production resource, is provided. The insights on different types of secondary resources help to develop a new model formulation generalizing and extending the currently used approaches, which are specific to certain settings. Some illustrative examples demonstrate the functional principle and flexibility of this new formulation which can thus be used in a wide range of applications. Finally, a new heuristic to solve large-scaled simultaneous lotsizing and scheduling problems is presented. The heuristic creates a modified multi-line master problem by aggregating products into groups. The resulting problem is less complex and its solution can be used to define single-line sub problems. These sub problems are solved by heuristics present in the literature and the results are then combined to form a solution to the original problem. Numerical tests show the applicability of the aforementioned approach to solve problems of practical relevance.
