Analyse des déterminants à court terme de la capacité d’une unité de production,

This article analyzes capacity determinants of a production system on the short term, from a work station to a production unit. This capacity, defined on a period, is a complex random variable. Its variance depends on factors, which don’t play in an additive manner. These factors are linked to production system characteristics, orders flows and mobilized procedures. The comprehension of capacity determinants is a first step in supply chain capacity definition, which is function of different capacities and of coordination between entities invested in customer-supplier relations
