Σύνοψη	The Wagner-Whitin Algorithm, introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958, is a dynamic programming solution to the capacitated lot-sizing problem. It determines optimal production quantities over multiple periods to minimize the total cost of production setup and inventory holding while meeting deterministic demand.	Benders Decomposition, introduced by Jacques F. Benders in 1962, is a powerful algorithmic framework for solving large-scale mixed-integer programming (MIP) problems. It decomposes the problem into a master problem (controlling complicating variables) and subproblems (handling remaining variables), using cutting planes generated from subproblem dual information to iteratively tighten the master problem.	The Simplex Method, developed by George Dantzig in 1947, is a foundational algorithm for solving linear programming problems. It systematically explores vertices of the feasible region to find the optimal solution where the objective function is maximized or minimized subject to linear constraints.
