Instead of solving fixed horizon production scheduling problems with specified terminal inventory conditions, we use forecasting to extend the problem horizon until stopping rule conditions are met. Major questions for this procedure relate to how to provide data for the extended problem and when to stop the process. We provide extensive computational results indicating that relatively simple methods perform quite well.
