Abstract

The paper presents a method to determine the lot size and production schedule for variable ranges of products based on genetic algorithm. The computer simulation checks the established deadlines for the various orders and strives to minimize the total cycle of production times and machine setup times. The authors present the assumptions of the model and its results concerning generation of the optimal production sequence for the analyzed products. The paper also comprises the analysis if it is reasonable to combine orders or separate them according to individual customer needs.
