Abstract
Abstract This paper revisits the formula in “Simultaneous determination of multiproduct batch and full truckload shipment schedules” by Banerjee (2009) . An amendment to the constraint formula is recommended to deliver a more accurate representation to the considered problem. In addition, a new constraint is introduced to make the formula for computing the average inventory applicable. Unfortunately, the constraint leads the manufacturer to adopt a lot-for-lot delivery policy, particularly when the resource utilization is fairly high. Therefore, in this paper, the constraint is relaxed and a new model for formulating the average inventory and the total cost is developed. A numerical example is provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.
