Abstract:

The performance of lot-sizing algorithms incorporating backorders is evaluated and compared with several of the traditional lot-sizing rules for the multi-level environment. By means of simulation, the impact of a variety of demand streams, product structures, and cost parameters on lot sizing is examined. The backordering algorithims offer greater flexibility with little or no decrement in performance when compared to their non-backorder counterparts.
