Abstract:

This article addresses the issue of lot sizing from a strategic perspective. While current lot-sizing techniques treat setup cost as a constant, setups can actually exhibit a strong learning curve effect through worker experience, managerial effort, technology, and methods engineering. Smaller lot sizes can be used as a strategic tool to improve a firm’s future competitive position.
