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...

Les normes techniques, élaborées par les principaux acteurs économiques, sont d'application facultative. Leur adoption par les entreprises s'explique par les garanties qu'elles fournissent. Le commerce intracommunautaire et, dans une moindre mesure, le commerce international sont régis par...

This paper examines the centralised monitoring of an upstream supply chain (USC) in the context of a mass customisation production system. We propose an adaptation of the material requirement planning framework to manage demand uncertainty at each stage of the USC. New analytical relations that...

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...

This article focuses on the calculation of the optimal stock-out risk for a component, which is used by alternative modules mounted on several assembly lines. The studied context is a supply chain dedicated to the mass production of highly diversified products, which is common in the automotive...

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

Article consacré à deux approches du pilotage des flux. Comparaison entre l'approche à flux poussée et l'approche à flux tirés. En l'occurence l'article met en valeur le système kanban.

Au cours des deux dernières décennies, l’évolution de l’environnement économique des entreprises a conduit à une tension croissante sur les flux, en particulier pour les entreprises spécialisées dans la production de masse de produits fortement diversifiés, auxquelles on...

In this PhD dissertation, we investigated the way of exploiting the demand forecasts for the upstream flow management in a context of mass production of highly diverse products and of geographical dispersion of the production units. When the forecasts are poorly exploited, phenomena similar to...
