Abstract
In this Note we present an alternative formulation to the MRP lot sizing model of Steinberg and Napier (SN) (Steinberg, E., H. A. Napier. 1980. Optimal multi-level lot sizing for requirements planning systems. Management Sci.26 (2) 1258–1271.). The alternative is more parsimonious and the notation less cumbersome. We also point out several errors in the formulation of the SN model which are significant for future research.
