We consider the mixing set with flows: $s+x_t geq b_t, x_t leq y_t { m for} 1 leq t leq n; s in R^1_+, x in R^n_+, y in Z^n_+.$ It models a “flow version” of the basic mixing set introduced and studied by Günlük and Pochet [Math. Program., 90 (2001), pp. 429–457], as well as the most simple stochastic lot-sizing problem with recourse. More generally it is a relaxation of certain mixed integer sets that arise in the study of production planning problems. We study the polyhedron defined as the convex hull of the above set. Specifically we provide an inequality description, and we also characterize its vertices and rays.
