Apologies for cross-postings. Dear colleagues, we are kindly inviting you to submit an abstract to the stream of LOT-SIZING AND RELATED TOPICS, at the XXVI EURO - INFORMS Joint International Conference, July 1-4, 2013, Rome, ITALY (http://euro2013.org) Within this stream we seek contributions to cover recent advances in lot-sizing on the following topics among others: - Applications of lot sizing in real world cases including implementation case-studies discussing organisational challenges and data issues (Good case studies will be invited to publish in OR Insight.); - Integration of lot-sizing with other problems, such as: scheduling, distribution and vehicle routing, procurement, and cutting and packing; - Extensions of lot sizing models, including (but are not limited to): non-triangular setups, period-overlapping setups, multiple resource types, blocking, synchronization, multi-level and multi-machine systems, perishable goods; - Solution methods for lot-sizing problems: heuristics, metaheuristics, exact methods, and hybrid approaches; - Replanning and rescheduling, especially in the context of stochastic production environments. - Stochastic lot-sizing problems In order to submit an abstract, please use the session code: c44a0f9b.
