Abstract: This article considers a joint economic lot sizing problem (JELP) of a single-vendor single-buyer inventory system in which the vendor is capacity constrained. The proposed model is formulated assuming that whenever the vendor's on-hand inventory level reaches the maximum attainable capacity, (s)he follows a modified consignment stock policy until the production lot is completed. A solution algorithm is provided and a numerical example is taken to illustrate the developed model. Sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the impact of key model-parameters on the optimal solution.
