Course section 12.4: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes

12.4 Batch Sizing, or Lot Sizing
Intended learning outcomes: Explain combining net requirements into batches. Differentiate between different batch-sizing policies.
12.4.1 Combining Net Requirements into Batches by Policies such as Lot-for-lot, Optimum Number of Merged Demands or Partial Orders, and Economic order quantity (EOQ)
Intended learning outcomes: Disclose various batch sizing policies, namely lot-for-lot, optimum number of (merged) demands, optimum number of partial lots, optimum batch size (economic order quantity, EOQ). Explain the “blowthrough” technique linked with the lot-for-lot sizing policy.
12.4.1b Batch Sizing Policies such as Period Order Quantity (or Optimum Length of Order Cycle), Part Period Balancing (PPB), Dynamic Optimization
Intended learning outcomes: Disclose various batch sizing policies, namely the period order quantity (or optimum length of order cycle), part period balancing (PPB), dynamic optimization.
12.4.2 Comparing Dynamic Optimization, Part Period Balancing (PPB), Period Order Quantity (or Optimum Length of Order Cycle), and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
Intended learning outcomes: Explain, using an example, the comparison of various batch-sizing policies, namely dynamic optimization, part period balancing (PPB), the period order quantity (or optimum length of order cycle), and the optimum batch size (economic order quantity, EOQ).
