โฆ Synopsis
This paper deals with a dynamic lot size problem in which the unit purchasing price depends on the quantity of an order and resale of the excess is possible at the end of each period. We assume an all units discount system with a single price break point. Investigation of the properties of an optimal solution allows us to develop a dynamic programming algorithm. A problem example is solved to illustrate the algorithm.

Federgruen and Lee ([3] ) proposed an optimal algorithm for the single-item dynamic lot size model with all-unit discount. In this note we show that their algorithm fails to find the optimal solution for some special cases. We also provide a modification to the algorithm to handle them.
We consider in this paper the coordinated replenishment dynamic lot-sizing problem when quantity discounts are offered. In addition to the coordination required due to the presence of major and minor setup costs, a separate element of coordination made possible by the offer of quantity discounts nee
