The standardization of partially substitutable components destined to meet a set of needs is studied. The monocriterion approach to standardization proposed in the last century is highlighted by taking into account several criteria and an economic valorization through modeling by linear...

On s’intéresse à la standardisation de composants partiellement substituables destinés à satisfaire un ensemble de besoins. L’approche monocritère de la standardisation proposée au siècle dernier est enrichie par une prise en compte explicite de plusieurs critères et d’une...

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, many sources create production instability: the level and structure of production in the final assembly line, variability of lead times, quality issues, packaging and loading constraints on transportation,...

In an upstream supply chain (USC) dedicated to the mass production of customized products, decentralized management is possible and performing in the steady state, if all the links that precede the final assembly line use periodic replenishment policies. These policies require appropriate safety...

The transition from synchronous supplies to synchronous production represent a possible alternative to the neighbourhood logistics configurations, especially in the automotive industry. It allows to gain, on certain conditions, efficiency and more manoeuvrability faced with a strong variability...

In an environment of mass customization where demand information can be placed in advance with sequencing orders, the question of the best use of this information arises in a supply chain. This situation led the authors to analyze the efficiency of current mechanisms of scheduling coordination...

L’article commence par une discussion sur le rôle du client dans le processus de conception de production de services. Les dimensions de la qualité perçue et de la satisfaction du client étant prises en compte, d’abord dans les études du marché ensuite dans la phase de conception et...

This paper presents an integer programming formulation for the sequencing problem in mixed-model assembly lines where the number of temporarily hired utility workers and the number of sequence-dependent setups are to be optimized simultaneously through a cost function. The resultant model offers...

In a supply chain designed for the production of goods of wide variety, the production schedule creates an ordered list of all the alternate components that will be mounted on a same post of the chain. The supply of these components by the supplier may induce transportation-related constraints....

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, many sources of production and supply instability can be identified: the level and structure of the production of the final assembly line, the variability of lead times, the quality issues, packaging and loading...
