Note—A Dynamic Programming Approach to Capacity Expansion with Specialization

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.21.3.360

The capacity expansion problem with specialization involves two classes of growing demand and two types of capacity. One type of capacity can supply both demands, while the second can supply only one. The specialization problem is an extreme case of the multilocation capacity expansion problem, and dynamic programming approaches for the multilocation problem can be adapted to solve the specialization problem.
