Application of fixed order period lot sizing rule in capacitated make-to-order production systems

In this paper, the fixed order period (FOP) lot sizing rule is considered as an appropriate lot-sizing strategy; which, through establishing a work-ahead-window, is used for modeling make-to-order (MTO) production systems with limited available capacity. FOP in an MTO environment summarizes the know...

description In this paper, the fixed order period (FOP) lot sizing rule is considered as an appropriate lot-sizing strategy; which, through establishing a work-ahead-window, is used for modeling make-to-order (MTO) production systems with limited available capacity. FOP in an MTO environment summarizes the known customers’ demands of the next work-ahead-window periods into one production lot. Establishing a work-ahead- window helps to smooth the production and buffer the production line from demand variability by pre-production of orders that are needed later. In other words, the orders that should be delivered in periods with higher required capacity than the available capacity are pre-produced in periods with lower required capacity. Generally, the fluctuation of the customer required capacity in an MTO environment is smoothed by applying an average operator in a way that the long term average customer required capacity is always less than the available capacity.
