Abstract

In this paper, a comprehensive production planning problem under uncertain demand is investigated. The problem intertwines two NP-hard optimization problems: an assembly line balancing problem and a capacitated lot-sizing problem. The problem is modelled as a two-stage stochastic program assuming a risk-averse decision maker. Efficient solution procedures are proposed for tackling the problem. A case study related to mask production is presented. Several insights are provided stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the results of a series of computational tests are reported.
