The inventory management amelioration is influenced by Several factors such as the inventory consolidation, the supply flexibility, the quality and the transmission speed of information. The important factors influencing the stock, the purchase decision and the quantity to buy are the supply time and the demand. The first factor may cause the shortage risk if it has exceeded a desired delay. The non-stationary...
In this paper, we propose a generalized version of the full truckload vehicle routing problem FTVRP in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply chain. We focus on the supply component that is considered to be the main element of LPG supply chain. The objective consists of determining a schedule of weekly supply which minimizes as well the gas acquisition cost as that of its transport. In order to...
Today, assessing performance correctly is considered as one of the most powerful competitive, in this paper we will make a scope on the main used supply chain performance indicators in Morocco, based on the current literature and on the results of a qualitative study that was done, targeting to show the most common used supply chain performance indicators, and also raise the most important missing...
The purpose of this article is to present a framework of how implement a synchronous flow of raw material between a car manufacturer and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The interest of such a subject is placed in a particular context of the automotive industry in Morocco marked by the RENAULT ecosystem signed under the Industrial Acceleration Plan (2014–2020).
Lean and Six Sigma are approaches that have the same motivation: Processes improvement and customer satisfaction. Both were used separately in the healthcare sector, but rarely together. This paper intends to integrate the two approaches in order to reach the highest level of patient safety.
The aim of this paper is to propose a framework analysis of urban bus transport service quality in Moroccan context. This framework is based on the principle of combining the user and the service managers, delegating authority and transport operator, vision and consists of three modules. Namely: Definition, evaluation and management of service quality. This paper will be carried out as follows: first,...
Faced with a turbulent economic, political and social environment, Companies need to build effective risk management systems in their supply chains. Risk management can only be effective when the risks identification and analysis are enough accurate. In this perspective, this paper proposes a risk assessment approach based on the analytic hierarchy process and group decision making. In this study,...
This paper presents a case study of a cancer center. A discrete event simulation model with ARENA software was developed to model and analyze the patient flow and evaluate performance through the outpatient chemotherapy unit. Simulation results determine where over-utilization of resources and long waiting times of patient per process.
The planning of maintenance activities can hinder manufacturing operations in term of cost, quality and time, but it is necessary to ensure the availability of the production equipment to meet customer demands. We propose to model the function of maintenance tasks and production operations by the sum of the two costs under a set of constraints. As a method of resolution, we use genetic algorithms...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Commercial seaports are a key component in the transport chain and particularly in the supply chain and in the production process. Port performance is a recurring question as each change in ports affects their performance level. These changes occur at different levels: international (technological advances), national (division of traffic between different regions) and local (land use planning). This...
In order to monitor the performance of a supply chain, decision-makers have the habit to use performance indicators. However, the multiplicity of indicators, quantitative ones or qualitative ones, pushes to merge them, to simplify diagnostic and facilitate comparisons. In this work, we propose a new aggregation operator, aiming to fix drawbacks of usual arithmetic means. An extension to fuzzy logic...
The aeronautic industry is an industry that uses the most innovative technologies ensuring safety, quality and respect for the environment. Thus, the problem that arises is to manufacture, at the least cost, more comfortable, safer and more effective aircraft that meets the expectations of passengers and the requirements of the companies. As a matter of fact, our paper is aimed at and, through a hypothetical-deductive...
This paper proposes an ant colony optimization (ACO) to solve the full-truckload selective multi-depot vehicle routing problem under time windows constraints (denoted by FT-SMDVRPTW). The objective is to construct a solution composed of a set of routes associated with the trucks, aiming at maximizing the total profit. Each order is a pickup and delivery order associated with an origin, a destination,...
Nowadays, companies seek to optimize their position in the global market. To do so, they are forced to work together to maintain a competitive advantage based on a unified approach to value creation. This collaboration is increasingly taking place through information systems and technologies. This article aims to present the role of inter-organizational collaboration in the logistics information systems...
