Dynamic lot sizing problem for systems with bounded inventory and remanufacturing was addressed. The demand and return amounts are deterministic over the finite planning horizon. Demands can be satisfied by manufactured new items, but also by remanufactured returned items. In production planning, there can be situations where the ability to meet customer demands is constrained by inventory capacity rather than production capacity. Two different limited inventory capacities are considered; there is either bounded serviceables inventory or bounded returns inventory. For the two inventory case, we present exact, polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm based on the idea of Teunter R, et al. (2006).

AbstractIn a single item dynamic lot-sizing problem, we are given a time horizon and demand for a single item in every time period. The problem seeks a solution that determines how much to produce and carry at each time period, so that we will incur the least amount of production and inventory cost. When the remanufacturing option is included, the input comprises of number of returned products at each time period that can be potentially remanufactured to satisfy the demands, where remanufacturing and inventory costs are applicable. For this problem, we first show that it cannot have a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. We then provide a polynomial time algorithm, when we make certain realistic assumptions on the cost structure.
