In this talk we present results of an ongoing study, based on a problem of a textile factory. The core problem is an integrated lotsizing and scheduling one, characterized by sets of parallel machines, arbitrary demands and due dates for products, a compatibility matrix between machines and components and release dates of machines. In a solution, the quantities to produce by product/component/size are split among smaller lots, the machines in which those lots will be produced are determined, as well as the order in which they will be done. We present a MIP model and results of a VNS heuristic.
