This paper considers the Multiple Product Single Facility Stockout Avo
idance Problem (SAP). That is the problem of determining, given initia
l inventories, whether there is a multiple product single facility pro
duction schedule that avoids stockouts over a given time horizon. The
optimization version of the SAP where stockouts are penalized linearly
is also studied. We call this problem the Weighted Stockout Problem (
WSP). Both problems are NP-hard in the strong sense. Mixed Integer Lin
ear Programming (MIP) formulations for both the SAP and the WSP are de
veloped. We show that there exist polynomial algorithms for some speci
al cases of the SAP and the WSP. We have also developed heuristics and
computational results.
