Lot sizes in a capacity constrained facility with available initial inventories

• This paper presents an heuristic method for deciding what items and what order sizes to produce in a capacity constrained facility. The available inventories on hand decide in what order the production should be performed for avoiding shortages. The recursion procedure finds the same solution to the Bomberger (Management Science 12 (11) (1996) 778–784) problem as Doll and Whybark (Management Science 20 (1) (1973) 50–55).
