Abstract

This experimental study was designed to investigate the efficiency of various lot-sizing strategies in multi-echelon production inventory systems. The results obtained through a system dynamics simulation model suggest that integer multiple-lot, sizes are significantly better than non-integer multiple lot sizes. These results can serve as general guidelines for the designer of multi-echelon production inventory systems.
