Abstract: This paper introduces an original parallelisation framework to design a new relax-and-fix heuristic, using strategies that do not rely on the classical chronological order, for capacitated lot-sizing problems. These decomposition approaches, never considered in the literature, are applied to solve a multi-item lot-sizing problem with constraints on ending inventories, setup times and lost sales. Another decomposition approach, a Lagrangian relaxation heuristic, is also proposed and parallelised. Moreover, to solve the relaxed problem in the Lagrangian relaxation heuristic, a polynomial dynamic programming algorithm is derived for an uncapacitated version of the single-item lot-sizing problem with ending inventory constraints. Computational experiments are conducted to analyze the efficiency of the different approaches, in particular of the new relax-and-fix strategies, and compare them to a linear programming standard solver.
