In batch manufacturing, the items are grouped
into batches. These batches are treated as individual jobs and they are not
splitted. However, if batch sizes are large, it may be beneficial to split
these batchesinto smaller transfer lots which is known as lot streaming. Lot
streaming provides acceleration of the production by processing the items of the
original batch in an overlapping fashion. In this paper, the lot streaming
problem is defined, the problem characteristics and the notation are explained.
Then the solution procedures in the literature for lot streaming problems are
discussed respectively for 2-machine,
3-machine and, m-machine cases. For alltypes of 2 and 3-machine problems, there
exist polynomial time algorithms. For certain m-machine problems, there also
exist polynomial time algorithms.
