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.
