Mitigating end-eects in Production Scheduling

In this report, a solution for the common problem of end-eects in production scheduling is investigated. Fisher et. al (2001) developed a method based on ending inventory valuation. This algorithm will be compared with the classical Wagner-Whitin algorithm and the Silver-Meal heuristic, where a rolling horizon setting is used. Furthermore, this algorithm is compared with an algorithm, as described by Stadtler (2000), that is specically used for mitigating end-effects.
