Abstract
This paper presents a heuristic algorithm for determining order quanti ties for multiple items given incremental quantity discounts and a sin gle resourse constraint. The heuristic is based on Lagrangian relaxati on. The performance of the heuristic is compared, for small problems, with a procedure that generates optimal solutions. Results from comput ational experiments are given that demonstrate the quality and computa tional efficiency of the heuristic algorithm.
