Abstract: We present an overview of basic models and solution algorithms for the lot streaming problem. We include models with continuous and discrete sublot sizes, models with and without intermittent idling of machines, and models with consistent and variable sublots. We also introduce a model with limited transporter capacity. First we present solutions for two machines, then generalize to three machines and, where possible, to several machines. We synthesize previous research and introduce several new results.
