Reasoned fertilization is a major concern for sustainable agriculture and requires a major increase in the number of fertilizer formulas that cannot be achieved cost-effectively with current production models. We propose therefore a new approach, called reverse blending, based on a delayed...

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, many sources of production 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...

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, decentralized management can be an efficient and effective method in a steady state in which stochastic characteristics of customers' demands remain stable. However, this is possible only if all echelons that...

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...

L’amélioration de l’efficacité et de l’efficience des processus de production de services passe par une mobilisation des techniques de simulation. Dans ce cadre, la modélisation d’un processus dépend des objectifs poursuivis et des propriétés de l’approche de la modélisation...

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...
