Abstract

We consider a single‐product, discrete‐time production/inventory‐control problem with nonstationary concave nondecreasing costs. Given a forecast horizon K, the problem is to find a decision horizon. We specialize to piecewise linear costs a general approach whereby a problem with horizon K + 1 and arbitrary final demand is parametrically solved. The resulting algorithm is polynomial in the input size.
