Abstract
In this paper, we examine the impact of scheduling policies on batch sizing decisions in a multiproduct manufacturing system. We also investigate the joint effect of scheduling policies and batch sizing decisions on manufacturing lead times. In particular we compare the performance of a first come-first-served (FCFS) policy with a group scheduling (GS) policy and study the effect of both on the optimal batch size
