Combining items for lot sizing in multi-level assembly systems

• Many manufacturing firms are faced with the problem of planning the production/purchase quantities for items in single product, multi-level assembly production/inventory systems. Such systems are characterized by a single product, or end item, used to satisfy customer demand, which is assembled from a number of component items which, in turn, may be assembled from one or more other component items, etc. Component items may be either fabricated or purchased. This paper identifies conditions on the cost parameters which, when applicable, allow items to be combined for purpose of optimization, thereby reducing the size of the problem.
