A periodic review lot sizing problem with random yields, disruptions and inventory capacity

This paper examines a periodic-reviewed lot sizing problem with random yields, disruptions and limited inventory capacity. To characterise the continuous production, an additive random yield model is considered rather than a multiplicative one. Disruptions cause breakdowns to production. Inventory capacity is included since the production has to be shut down when the inventory buffer is full. Both disruptions and shutdowns lead to a start-up...
