This paper considers a two-product, single-machine production scheduling problem where there is an added constraint on the amount of finished stock that can be held. The need for a ratio of the cycle times of the two products is a feature both of two-product production scheduling problems contained on one machine and two-product inventory problems with constraints on storage capacity. This means an easy solution algorithm is possible for the problem addressed in the paper which has both types of constraints.
