Abstract
Coordination of order placing points, in a multi-item environment, becomes desirable as it reduces the set-up costs and eases the problem of order-control implementation. Because of the computational complexities most of the analysis in the literature is confined to single families of items. In this paper, we establish the basic property of item consecutiveness for the multi-family situation which facilitates a shortest-path formulation of optimal families. We also develop an efficient algorithm for lot size computations of a single family to be incorporated in the shortest-path model.
