Note—Lot-Sizing and Sequencing Delays
指出生产调度中时间绩效通常由排序模型决定，但实际中批量大小可控制加工时间，从而显著影响完工时间和流程时间，并定性分析了批量与排序的交互作用。
In production scheduling, time performance is usually taken to be the province of sequencing models which take task processing times to be given. However, in practice, processing times can often be controlled by the choice of lot sizes which thus have a major impact on makespan, waiting times, flow times and other measures. Here the interface between lot sizing and sequencing is introduced and the effect of lot sizes on makespan and flow times is qualitatively analyzed.
