The integrated uncapacitated lot sizing and bin packing problem
RAIRO. Operations Research, Tome 55 (2021) no. 3, pp. 1197-1212

In the integrated uncapacitated lot sizing and bin packing problem, we have to couple lot sizing decisions of replenishment from single product suppliers with bin packing decisions in the delivery of client orders. A client order is composed of quantities of each product, and the quantities of such an order must be delivered all together no later than a given period. The quantities of an order must all be packed in the same bin, and may be delivered in advance if it is advantageous in terms of costs. We assume a large enough set of homogeneous bins available at each period. The costs involved are setup and inventory holding costs and the cost to use a bin as well. All costs are variable in the planning horizon, and the objective is to minimize the total cost incurred. We propose mixed integer linear programming formulations and a combinatorial relaxation where it is no longer necessary to keep track of the specific bin where each order is packed. An aggregate delivering capacity is computed instead. We also propose heuristics using different strategies to couple the lot sizing and the bin packing subproblems. Computational experiments on instances with different configurations showed that the proposed methods are efficient ways to obtain small optimality gaps in reduced computational times.
