As known, new paradigmatic manufacturing strategies, such as mass customization, bring many new challenges. One of them is batch size optimization since it allows lead time and cost reduction, what are the main preconditions of successful implementation of this strategy. This paper offers an effective solution to optimize batch sizes in order to minimize product lead times and maximize system throughput. Proposed solution considers the classic problem of sequencing a set of jobs that arrive in different combinations over time in a make-to-order (MTO) flow-shop type production. This paper is divided into the four main sections, starting with related work and proposed methodology. Then, approach to batch size strategy optimization is explained. The proposed method is presented through the case study, in the next main section. Finally, discussion and concluding remarks are provided. (Received in February 2020, accepted in May 2020.
