Projektbeschreibung in englisch:
In our paper we focus on a special uncapacitated lot sizing problem where a manufacturer can meet demand by either producing new items or by remanufacturing used items. Additionally, a minimum order quantity restriction, instead of the setup cost, guarantees a certain level of production lots. A general model of this problem is formulated and several useful properties of the optimal solution structure are investigated. Finally, we develop a one-dimensional dynamic programming procedure for the originally two-dimensional dynamic model that generates the optimal production plan for some special cases.
