Abstract
Lot sizes for externally purchased components used in assemblies are often determined so that total inventory carrying costs and fixed ordering costs are approximately minimized. By focusing primarily on this criterion, a number of constraints relating to receiving dock capacity and storage area capacities are usually ignored. The goals of this paper are to develop a model and an algorithm that can be used to establish the time between external procurements and between movement of stock from stage to stage for each component in a multi-stage assembly system recognizing the presence of these capacity constraints.
