In this paper, we study the dynamic lot-sizing problem with demand time windows and container-based transportation cost. For each particular demand, there are corresponding earliest and latest times, and the duration between such earliest and latest times is the demand time window. If a demand is satisfied by a delivery within demand time window, then there is no holding or backlogging cost incurred. Our purpose is to satisfy demand at a minimum total cost, including setup cost, procurement cost, container cost, and inventory holding cost.
