This paper studies a capacitated production lot sizing problem considering penalties for overtime. The mathematical model is presented, and a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is developed to solve the problem. Initial populations are generated by employing a heuristic method, and the supply-demand balance algorithm, as well as the capacitated balance algorithm are incorporated into the GA to ensure the feasibility of the solutions.
