ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITIES BASED ON UNIT‐LOAD AND MATERIAL‐HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS
研究了生产批量规划中常被忽视的单元载荷和物料搬运因素，将运输成本纳入总成本函数，建立带约束的优化模型并用动态规划求解，对库存与物流管理者有参考价值。
Abstract In this paper, an important but frequently overlooked aspect of production batch‐size planning is addressed: namely, the consideration of unit load and material handling. Thus, an additional cost factor to account for the transportation of unit loads is incorporated in the total cost function which is typically broken down into reorder cost, inventory holding cost, and backorder cost. A cost minimization model is developed that includes constraints related to volume and weight restrictions on unit loads and in‐process storage space. A dynamic programming procedure is utilized to find the minimum cost solution. An example problem is also given.
