Advanced Production Planning

The course focuses on creating an understanding of the planning problems and the solution approaches, with a focus on mixed integer programming approaches for lot sizing models. Attention is also given to various extensions of the basic lot sizing problem. The course consists of the three following modules: Part I: Overview of planning problems Part II: Solution approaches (cutting planes, dynamic programming, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, Lagrange decomposition) Part III: Extensions of models (multi-product, demand uncertainty, ...)
