Abstract

The capacitated multi-item lot-sizing problem with setup times is known to be NP-hard. In our recent work, we proposed the 2-step construction heuristic (2-SCH), which delivers competitive solution quality within a short computational time and can be applied to various problem extensions with minimal modifications. It was shown that problem instances with high capacity utilization and high average time between orders are particularly challenging and, in the worst case, only solutions that use overtime capacity could be constructed. Leveraging the structure of the 2-SCH, we explore opportunities to enhance solution quality as well as counteract the possible use of overtime by incorporating the 2-SCH into a metaheuristic and designing an improvement heuristic that relies on information from the 2-SCH solutions.
