Hello!
Thank you very much, Ken and Ramy for your quickly answer.
I will explain that I work in Spain, and factories are in north of Europe. Factories make the replenishment to Spain, according with TLB proposal.
What I thought is that, if for example I only bring one truck per week, putting a weekly lot size I would get every morning a proposal of 1 truck every week (or less, depending in other parameters). And I thought that every proposal would take the demand for one full week.
Example: if every day I have a demand of 100, then the TLB proposal would be 500 for day 1. Other 500 for day 8, and so on.
But what I have is a proposal of 100 in day 1, other 100 in day 2 and so on. And I don't want to load only 100, because I won't have a truck every day.
As according with your answers, I am wrong, I would like to kindly ask you 2 questions:
1. How could I get a proposal as I need (500 in every proposal, instead of 100)?
2. What is then, the effect of periodic lot size in my replenishment (if any)? What is the effect in the factory?
Thank you very much in advance!!
