Abstract: Lot streaming is the process of splitting a production lot into sublots, and then, processing the sublots on different machines in an overlapping manner. In this paper, we study the use of lot streaming when a learning effect is observed. We provide a method for transforming a lot streaming problem in the presence of learning to its equivalent counterpart without learning for which a solution method may already exist. We demonstrate the use of this transformation on some lot-streaming problems.
