Full textThis thesis focuses on the rise of the third party logistics. It does so by proposing answers to three questions: on which economic models relies the organization of the third party logistic? Do the firms belonging to the third party logistic share the strategy defined at the group level? For what reasons logistics and transport activities are outsourced? The thesis is organized in four chapters. The first chapter presents an historical introduction to the logistic activities. It focuses on the merchants and the firms that have handled trade through diverse periods from the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution. I described the way used to increase the quality and the quantity of information available to the merchants. The second chapter explains the rise of new economic models to organize logistic activities. The third and fourth chapters present two econometric studies. The third chapter verifies if the firms belonging to a logistic and transport group comply with the strategy of the group. The fourth chapter studies the factors that favor the outsourcing of logistics activities

Full textToday’s challenging and competitive global business environment forces companies to place a premium upon the performance of their supply chains. The key to success lies in understanding and managing several contradicting performance metrics. Companies are compelled to keep their supply chain costs low and to maintain the service level high. In this regard, integrated planning of important supply chain decisions such as location, procurement, production, inventory, and distribution has proved to be valuable in gaining efficiency and responsiveness. Two fundamental operations in supply chain management are production and distribution planning. Traditionally, mainly due to the high complexity and difficulty of these operations, they have been treated separately. This hierarchical or sequential decision making approach imposes high inventory holding cost, as in the traditional approach inventory plays an important role in timely satisfying the demand. However, in the era of supply chain cost reduction, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the interrelations between different decisions, and especially production and distribution decisions, can no longer be neglected. Although the research interest in the integrated supply chain planning has been recently growing, there is still much room to further improve and make the existing models more realistic. Throughout this research, we investigate different rich integrated problems. The richness of the models stems from real-world features such as delivery time windows, flexible network designs, and incorporation of environmental concerns. Our purpose is to highlight the values of integration, in terms of cost savings and greenhouse gas emission reduction. First, we describe, model, and solve a plant-customer, single product setting in which production and inventory are capacitated and inter-plant transshipment is allowed. The problem is flexible in terms of delivery due dates to customers, as we define a delivery time window. Using a large real dataset inspired from an industrial partner, we compare the integrated approach with several current practice scenarios. We use an exact method to find the solution of each scenario and study the trade-offs between cost and service level in a detailed sensitivity analysis. Our results indicate how the use of a synchronized and holistic approach to decision making provides abundant opportunities for logistics systems in general. We further extend our study by considering a multi-product and multi-echelon setting. In this problem, products are shipped to customers through a set of distribution centers, and the producer has control over their locations. In this study our network design is flexible since it may change over time. As the problem gets richer and more realistic, it also becomes more complex and difficult to solve. Better solutions from the integrated approach are obtained at the expense of higher implementation complexity and execution time. We describe and model the problem, and solve it with both integrated and sequential decision making approaches to indicate when the use of a more complex approach is beneficial. Our work provides insights on the value of the integrated approach compared to the sequential one. To highlight how the two types of flexibility, from the network design and from the delivery time windows, lead to economic savings, we describe, model, and solve an integrated flexible two-echelon location routing problem. In this problem a supplier delivers a commodity to the customers through a two-echelon supply network. Here, we also consider a penalty for each demand that is not satisfied within the pre-specified time window. The problem is studied in a richer setting, as the distribution is conducted via vehicle routing. The fourth part of this thesis addresses the environmental impacts of logistic decisions. Traditionally, supply chain optimization has merely concentrated on costs or the economic aspects of sustainability, neglecting its environmental and social aspects. Aiming to compare the effect of operational decisions not only on costs but also on greenhouse gas emissions, we reassess some well-known logistic optimization problems under new objectives. We study two integrated systems dealing with production, inventory, and routing decisions, in which a commodity produced at the plant is shipped to the retailers over a finite time horizon. We provide elaborated sensitivity analyses allowing us to gain useful managerial implications on the costs and emissions in integrated supply chains, besides important insights on the cost of being environmentally friendly. In this thesis, we aim not only to better understand the integrated logistics as a whole but also to provide useful operational tools for its exploitation. We propose new business models capable of enhancing supply chain performance while at the same time developing mathematical and technical implementation for its effective and efficient use.

Full textThe forest is a beneficial and renewable source of raw materials that ensures an economic dynamic. Thereby, the forest industry is characterized by a complex logistics network that is subject to a number of unique factors, such as: a growing need for customization of products, an unrecognized and uncertain demand for a few markets, and fierce global competition. This industry also encompasses a set of interconnected nodes for materials, information, and financial transactions. In this context, this thesis deals with the planning and control of the logistic activities of a forest value chain. It is a network that puts together the needful activities to move the raw materials and process them into finished products for customers. Our contribution through this project is to establish planning models that enable decision-makers to better coordinate their activities and improve their ways of exchanging information between each other in order to meet customer needs, build sustainable competitive advantage, and reduce costs In order to help the forest industry to achieve such objectives, we propose a methodology including three contributions. The first one suggests a centralized mathematical model then maximizes the total profit of a forest value chain by optimizing the quantities to be harvested and stored as well as the ones to be delivered. The second contribution is based on coordinated models that allow for more effective planning and control of forestry supply activities. The third contribution offers a conceptual implementation strategy and at the same time a technological platform which should be helpful to support the implementation of the coordination models developed.

Full textA framework aimed at new organisation and management schemes is presented in this thesis. By taking profit from several studies in manufacturing industries, the study points out the need of a coherent productive organisation, based on produ ction plannings (output, manufacturing frequencies, operation - process combinations) and flows implementation with homo genous management criterions. A further step is the explanation of logistic efficiency which underlines the main organisational characteristics of pro cesses based upon several kinds of flexibility (output, quality of the goods, supply structure).

Full textThe evolution of logistic networks is accompanied by the worrisome risk of intentional attacks and these networks increasingly become potential targets. It is essential to protect them against these attacks. This thesis develops a method for the optimal allocation of defensive resources among the entities’ logistic networks to protect against intentional attacks in the context of facility location optimization. This method is developed to calculate the expected damage, evaluate the value of a critical target and optimally distribute the limited defensive resources, taking the attacker’s strategy into account. Three cases of logistics networks are studied in this thesis. We first of all consider the context of the uncapacitated fixed-charge location where a strategy of optimal protection is selected. Then, extra-capacity is used as a means for indirect protection, allowing the reduction of the expected damage. Lastly, as the efficiency and effectiveness in any logistics network is largely determined by the correct operation of the warehouses, the latter are also protected in the same way as the plants. Whereas the defender’s objective is to minimize the damage, the attacker seeks to maximize this damage. In the three cases considered the problem formulation as a two-period game where the defender invests in the first period. This means that the defender selects a strategy in the first period that minimizes the maximum loss the attacker may cause in the second period. A method is developed to evaluate the utilities of the players. This method evaluates many expected costs, including the cost needed to restore disabled facilities, the backorder cost, and the cost incurred because of the change in transportation costs after attacks. An algorithm is developed to find the equilibrium solution and the optimal defence strategy. Our method is compared to other suggested strategies. Obtained results clearly indicate the effectiveness of our model and the indirect protection by extra-capacity deployment, as well as the importance of protecting the warehouses.

Full textCette thèse cherche à identifier et comprendre la géographie de ce secteur pour ensuite en analyser les impacts territoriaux, au regard de la politique publique en Europe. Notre analyse est organisée en trois étapes.
En premier lieu, nous étudions les facteurs de localisation des activités logistiques, en particulier des éléments statiques, entrepôts, établissements industriels ou centres de distribution, à l’échelle de l’Europe du Nord-Ouest. Pour cela, nous construisons une base de données de la localisation des établissements logistiques.
Deuxièmement, nous analysons les politiques menées par les différents niveaux de pouvoirs européens en matière de logistique, afin de comprendre leur articulation et de mettre en évidence les courants généraux qui s’en dégagent. Dans ce cadre, nous mobilisons les situations wallonnes et bruxelloises pour concrétiser et approfondir notre étude.
Ceci permet, dans un troisième temps, d’étudier les impacts territoriaux des activités logistiques en Europe, en mettant en évidence le rôle des pouvoirs publics ainsi que celui des attentes et choix d’implantations du secteur et les rapports de force se nouant entre ces acteurs. Le matériel mobilisé est issu des textes politiques, de la littérature scientifique et d’études de cas issues d’Europe et de Bruxelles et Wallonie en particulier.
Nos résultats mettent en évidence la proximité existant entre le développement de l’activité logistique et l’évolution de l’économie européenne. C’est la flexibilisation et l’intégration européenne de l’économie qui sont à l’origine de l’essor d’un secteur logistique ayant une existence propre. En retour, cette activité participe à la poursuite et l’intensification de l’organisation économique actuelle, en facilitant les échanges de biens entre acteurs économiques.
Dès lors, la localisation des activités logistiques correspond à cette recherche de flexibilité, au niveau de la situation ou des modalités d’implantation. Ce sont les espaces intermédiaires, proches des centres et des axes et nœuds d’échanges qui sont privilégiés.
La prise en charge des enjeux territoriaux et les répercussions des décisions publiques en la matière témoignent de l’idéologie actuelle en matière d’économie et de développement territorial. L’essor de l’activité logistique a été permis et encouragé par la politique macroéconomique européenne. Dans ce cadre, la prise en charge de ses implications territoriales témoigne du privilège donné à la croissance, du secteur et de l’économie en général, selon les modalités politiques et économiques actuelles.

Full textThis thesis argues that the network dimension as the current scope of supply chain management is confining the evolution of this field and restricting the conceptual and fundamental innovations required for addressing the major challenges imposed by the evolution of markets and the increased intricacies of business relationships. The concepts of chain and network are limitative when attempting to represent the complexity of physical, informational and financial flows resulting from the interactions occurring in overlapping networks. They lack the theoretical foundations necessary to explain and encompass initiatives that go beyond a single chain or network. They also lead to overlook substantial opportunities that require beyond a network vision. Therefore, the “web” dimension, as networks of networks, is proposed as an extension to the network dimension in supply chain management. This new scope is the natural next step in the progression from the internal operations management level to the supply chain level and then to the supply network level. After a theoretical investigation of why and how the web dimension should be integrated into the supply chain management field, the thesis studies and discusses important implications of this integration on inter-organisational collaboration and of the decision-making processes in the logistic web environments. It demonstrates through the example of open interconnected logistic webs some of the potentials that cannot be imagined without a web vision. A methodology for designing a simulation model to assess the impact of such open webs versus existing webs is proposed. Since decision support is a key element in supply chain management, the thesis contributes to determine the needs of supply chain managers and identify the important axes for designing decision support systems that provide adequate assistance in dealing with the challenges and complexity presented by logistic web environments. The identified elements result in the establishment of a foundation for designing software solutions required to handle the challenges revealed by the web dimension. This conceptual framework is applied to the prototyping of four applications that have the potential of providing practitioners and researchers with the appropriate understanding and necessary tools to deal with the complexity of logistics webs.

Full textLog yards play an essential role in the proper functioning of the forest supply chain. The performance of log yard operations is closely related to its design. Log yard design and operations have not been thoroughly represented in the scientific literature although research in other industrial sectors have demonstrated the strategic importance of warehouses to the activities and economic profitability of an enterprise. There is a need for research into this complex environment in order to and establish a systematic approach for designing efficient log yards considering their operational conditions. This thesis aims to develop a systematic log yard design methodology for improved forest supply chain efficiency. In the first part of this thesis, the current practices of log yard design, management and operations were documented. Detailed data on the area, supply, human and machine resources, inventory management and performance were collected using personalized questionnaires from the 38 largest softwood sawmills in Quebec, Canada. Data and information from the questionnaire were completed and validated by site visits and interviews with log yard managers. The results confirmed the need for a design guide in the practical environment and demonstrated the heterogeneity in operational conditions of log yards. An analysis of the obtained data allowed us to identify the crucial inhibitors of their management and operations (seasonality of wood supply, shape of the yard and unpaved surface). In the second part of the thesis, the survey data was used to compare the technical efficiency of log yards and their operations. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to identify the sources of log yard inefficiency using the surface area, the number of machines and the number of employees as inputs, and the annual volume as outputs of the model. The average technical efficiency of the log yards is 62 % under constant returns to scale and 81 % under variable returns to scale. The overall inefficiency of the yards can be associated with the scale inefficiency (23 %) and the resource consumption (19 %). The efficiency scores were compared to the operational context of the yard represented by the number of sorts, the shape of the yard and the seasonality of log supply. This analysis allowed us to identify two practices that had the most influence on yard performance (old equipment and unpaved surface). Finally, in the third part of the thesis, an approach is proposed to take into account the seasonality of forest supply in the log yard design procedure. This approach completes the static design method developed by Hampton in the 1980s. The enhancement allows the design of the yard to be adapted to seasonal supply conditions by determining the operating seasons and integrating flexible design decisions (additional capacity, additional resources, and flexible resources). The process of evaluating the performance of the proposed scenarios was also enhanced by the application of discrete event simulation. The method is demonstrated using the case of an existing log yard in Quebec, Canada.

Full textI wish to demonstrate in this thesis that the realisation of extended enterprise, which corresponds to the emergence of intermediate systems founded on the protocols of partnership is at the same time associated with a management of cooperative information systems, notably with the aim of optimising operational flow management. The field of application is parcels delivery in france. My thesis is divided into two parts. The first part, of a theoretical nature, begins with the analysis of industrial cooperative strategies -ie networks- to show that these generate new needs concerning information exchange. The concept of a cooperative information system is put forward as a system of information adapted to carry out the communications policies of a networked organisation. The second part of my thesis takes us to the construction of a "projective model" in which is organised a body of hypotheses, followed by a methodology of investigation put into place to explore the strategies carried out in a particular industry. After having indicated, with broad brushstrokes, the general characteristics of express parcels services, i propose the description and analysis of cooperative information systems through the results of fieldwork, carried out by indepth interviews within 11 different companies. Cooperative information systems ensure the connection between two visions of of the same production process : strategic (the type of cooperation strategy) and operational (the vision of the process -ie the flow)

Full textThe Third-Party Logistics service providers (3PLs) have the potentialities to activate sustainable practices between different partners of a Supply Chain (SC). There exists an optimal level of integrating 3PLs as suppliers of a Focal Company within the SC, to expect for high operational performances. This level leads to distinguish all the logistics activities to outsource from those to perform in-house. Once the outsourced logistics activities are strategically identified, and tactically dimensioned, they need to be performed by appropriate 3PLs to sustain economic, social and environmental performances of the SC. The present thesis develops a holistic approach to design a sustainable supply chain integrating 3PLs, in the context of business and carbon policy uncertainties. First, a two-stage stochastic modelling approach is suggested to optimize both the level of 3PL integration, and of Low Carbon Reduction LCR investment within a climate change resilient SC. Our SC is structured to capture three main SC management issues of the Focal Company FC (e.g. The manufacturer) : Security of Supplies; Distribution Segmentation; and Extended Producer Responsibility. The first-stage of the modelling approach suggests a stochastic plan based scenarios capturing business uncertainties, and proposes a two-objective, multi-period, and multi-product programming model, for minimizing simultaneously, the expected logistics total cost, and the Green House Gas GHG emissions of the whole SC. The run of the model by means of a suggested Epsilon-constraint algorithm leads to a set of Pareto optimal decarbonized SC configurations, before any LCR investment. Each one of these configurations distinguishes the logistics activities to be outsourced, from those to be performed in-house. The second-stage of the modelling approach helps the decision makers to select the best Pareto optimal SC configuration. The concept of internal carbon price is used to establish a stochastic plan of carbon price in the context of a voluntary carbon disclosure regime, and we propose a set of LCR technologies in the freight transportation domain ready to compete for counteracting the uncertain carbon policies. A combinatory model is developed to minimize the total expected cost, under the constraints of; carbon abatement, budget limitation, and LCR investment priorities. The injection of each Pareto optimal solution in the model, and the resolution lead to select the most efficient climate resilient SC configuration, which defines not only the optimal plan of LCR investment, but the optimal level of logistics outsourcing within the SC as well. Secondly, once the outsourced logistics are strategically defined they need to be performed by appropriate 3PLs for supporting the FC to build a Sustainable SC. We suggest the DEA-QFD/Fuzzy AHP-Taguchi Robust Design: a robust integrated selection approach to select the most efficient 3PL candidates. Sustainable criteria, and risks related to business environment are identified, categorized, and ordered. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is reinforced by Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP), and Fuzzy logic, to consistently determine the relative importance of each decision factor according to the real logistics needs, and business strategies of the FC. Data Envelopment Analysis leads to shorten the list of candidates to only those of comparative efficiencies. The Taguchi Robust Design technique allows to perform a plan of experiment, for determining an ideal candidate named ‘optimum of Taguchi’. This benchmark is used to compare the remainder 3Pls candidates, and the most efficient 3PL is the closest one to this optimum.We are currently conducting a case study of a company that manufactures and markets microwave ovens for validating the two-stage stochastic approach, and certain aspects of its implementation are provided. Finally, an example of selecting a sustainable 3PL, to handle reverse logistics is given for demonstrating the applicability of the integrated & robust approach, and showing its power compared to popular selection approaches.

Full textTo overcome the new challenges facing agricultural sector, imposed by globalisation, changing market demands and price instability, the crop production supply chain must particularly be very reactive, flexible, with a high yield and at low cost. Its improving and eventual re-configuration can lead to an upgrade in efficiency, responsiveness, business integration and make it able to confront the market competitiveness. The thesis is thus placed in this particular context and aims to support decision making in crop harvesting activity, which is considered the pivotal stage in the cereal production circuit owing to its high cost and impact on the returns earned. Managing the harvest activity involves gathering, transportation and storage operations, performed by a collection of agricultural holdings geographically dispersed. Besides its practical relevance, this thesis forms part of the Operational Research (OR) and more specifically, refers to the linear and stochastic programming, discrete event simulation, and their coupling. In addition, the synergy created between OR, inferential and predictive statistics, geographical information system tools makes the decision support system competitive, efficient and responsive

Full textToday, France is dotted with more than 2 000 music festivals, which represent important social and economic issues, threatened by the combination of a funding decreasing and charges increasing. Far from trivial, this finding has a special resonance for the management researcher who saw these music festivals as an extreme case of pervasive organizational form: the Temporary Organizations (TO). In this context, the thesis work on understanding the articulation between organizational continuity and logistics management in the TO to try to identify the impact of this relation on continuation of TO with repetitive projects like music festivals but also like humanitarians or military interventions. A research question can then be asked: " How organizational continuity and logistics management can they jointly contribute to the continuation of a temporary organization ?". The thesis is supported by a qualitative methodology based on four case studies of French actual music festivals and is split in two parts: the first one focused on the organizational continuity and highlight a pulsatory phenomena which lead to evolutions of the structures and the ways of coordination in the organization, the second part is focused on the logistics management and show the strategic place of the logistics competencies on the continuation of TO. At the end, the thesis show that one of the most important challenge for music festival managers resides in the development, the conservation, and the mobilisation of specifics logistics competencies, especially in transitional phases in upstream and downstream of the events

Full textThis research studies the implementation of a management device at a French car manufacturer. Implementation theory is use for analyzing the device’s implementation process called « mutualized MAF ». This theory considers that an adaptation process is realized by the users during the device implementation. This process is called "appropriation". Our findings propose that this appropriation is realized «making path», without planning and voluntarily by the users, three improvisation characteristics identified by the literature. Following Ciborras’s work, we use organizational improvisation concept to characterize the actions performed by users to "make do" with the management device. Our approach is based on a going-and-coming process between literature and research ground which helped us to suit better our research questions and our analyzing method after one year observation period (July 2009 to August 2010) within the team at the automaker. We have developed three reading grids to identify difficulties encountered during the device, characterize prescription-improvisation loops during the implementation of the device and compare loops between them. Our study leads us to propose a definition of improvisation as a skill to "make do" with the management tools and to build a model of improvisation

Full textOptimisation in distribution is a major concern towards the performance’s improvement of manufacturing and service industries. Together with the evolution of the business’ world and technology advancements, new practical challenges need to be faced by managers. These challenges are thus a point of interest to researchers. This thesis concentrates on the application of operational research (O.R.) techniques to optimise supply chains in two precise contexts: relief distribution and healthcare logistics. These two research domains have grown a lot recently and have major impacts on the population. These are two complex and difficult distribution settings that require a scientific approach to improve their performance and thus warrant the welfare among the population. This thesis’s contributions relate to those two axes. First, we present a systematic review of the available literature in relief distribution (Chapter 2) to consolidate and classify the most important works in the field, as well as to identify the research’s gaps in the current propositions and approaches. This analysis inspires and supports our second contribution. In Chapter 3, we present and evaluate three models to optimise the design of relief distribution networks oriented to fairness in distribution. The models seek to ensure an equitable distribution between the points of demand and in a stable fashion in time. In addition, the models allow the backorder of demand to offer a more realistic and flexible distribution plan. The second research context result from a request from Quebec’s Ministry of Health and Social Services (Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux – MSSS). In partnership with the managers of Quebec’s healthcare system, we propose an approach to tackle the biomedical sample transportation problem faced by the laboratories’ network in Quebec’s province. We propose two mathematical formulations and some fast heuristics to solve the problem (Chapter 4). This contribution is later extended to include the opening hours’ synchronisation for the specimen collection centers and the number and frequency of pick-ups. We propose an iterated local search procedure (ILS) to find a routing plan minimising total billable hours (Chapter 5). This leads to an efficient tool to routing planning in the medical laboratories’ network in Quebec.

Full textLes villes sont les lieux de la plus grande concentration d'activités sociales et économiques. La logistique est l'une des plus importants éléments de la durabilité et de l'économie d’une la ville. Pour la logistique urbaine, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte les caractéristiques de la ville et les objectifs de toutes les parties prenantes (expéditeurs, destinataires, transporteurs, prestataires de services logistiques, résidents, gouvernement de la ville). Les plans de logistique urbaine durable pourraient avoir un impact significatif sur la qualité de la vie en milieu urbain. L'évaluation d'initiatives de logistique de ville durable (SCLI) telles que les centres de distribution urbains, la tarification de la congestion, le délai de livraison et les restrictions d'accès est un problème complexe, car plusieurs critères et contraintes subjectifs et objectifs doivent être pris en compte. Les administrations municipales investissent dans des initiatives de logistique urbaine durable telles que les centres de distribution urbains, la tarification de la congestion, le calendrier de livraison et les restrictions d'accès afin d'améliorer les conditions de transport de marchandises dans les villes et de réduire leurs impacts négatifs sur les citoyens et leur environnement. Cependant, il y a toujours des risques dynamiques associés à la sélection. L’analyse des risques des initiatives de logistique urbaine est une tâche complexe en raison de la multiplicité des facteurs de risque et de leurs dépendances. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas beaucoup d'études sur les risques liés à la logistique urbaine, aucune attention n'a été portée à l'analyse des risques liés à la logistique urbaine en prenant en compte les dépendances entre les facteurs de risque et leurs critères. Considérer les dépendances entre les facteurs de risque pourrait conduire à une analyse plus précise des risques et augmenter le taux de réussite de la sélection des initiatives de logistique urbaine. Méthodes: pour résoudre ce problème, nous proposons un outil avancé d'aide à la décision appelé «cartescognitives floues» (FCM), capable de gérer les risques associés à des systèmes aussi complexes. La FCM représente avec précision le comportement de systèmes complexes et peut prendre en compte les incertitudes, les informations imprécises, les interactions entre les facteurs de risque, la rareté de l'information et les opinions de plusieurs décideurs. En outre, il pourrait être appliqué à différents problèmes de prise de décision liés aux initiatives de logistique de ville durable (SCLI). Par conséquent, l'outil proposé aiderait les praticiens à gérer les risques liés à la logistique urbaine d'une manière plus efficace et proactive et offrirait de meilleures solutions d'atténuation des risques. Dans les études précédentes, les méthodes de décision multicritères étaient principalement utilisées pour l'évaluation, la comparaison et la sélection d'initiatives logistiques de villes en fonction des effets obtenus ou prévus résultant de leur introduction dans divers environnements urbains. Afin d'évaluer l'adéquation des solutions conceptuelles aux exigences des différentes parties prenantes et conformément aux attributs spécifiques de l'environnement urbain, il convient de définir des solutions conceptuelles associant différentes initiatives de logistique urbaine en utilisant un processus artificiel; outils de renseignement, y compris la FCM.
The cities are the places of the largest concentration of social activities and economic. Logistics is one of the most important for the sustainability and the economy of the city. Inselecting the city logistics concept, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the city and the goals of all the stakeholders (shippers, receivers, carriers, logistics service providers, residents, city government). Sustainable city logistics (SCL) plans could significantly affect the quality of life in the urban environment. Evaluating sustainable city logistics initiatives (SCLI) such as urban distribution centres, congestion pricing, delivery timing and access restrictions is a complex problem since several subjective and objective criteria and constraints should be considered. Municipal administrations are investing in sustainable city logistics initiatives (SCLI) such as urban distribution centres, congestion pricing, delivery timing and access restrictions in order to improve the condition of goods transport in cities and reduce their negative impacts on citizens and their environment. However, there is always some dynamic risks associated that should be selected. Risk analysis of sustainable city logistics initiatives is a complex task due to consisting of many risk factors with dependencies among them. Although there are no lots of studies on sustainable city logistics risks, no attention has been paid to the risk analysis of sustainable city logistics by considering the dependencies among risk factors and their criteria. Considering the dependencies among risk factors could lead to more precise risks analysis and increase the success rate of selecting sustainable city logistics initiatives. Methods: To address this, we are proposing an advanced decision support tool called "Fuzzy Cognitive Maps" (FCM) which can deal with risks of such complicated systems. FCM represents the behaviour of complex systems accurately and is able to consider uncertainties, imprecise information, the interactions between risk factors, information scarcity, and several decision maker's opinions. In addition, it could be applied to different decision makings problems related to sustainable city logistics initiatives (SCLI). Therefore, the proposed tool would help practitioners to manage sustainable city logistics risks in a more effective and proactive way and offer better risk mitigation solutions. In previous studies, multi-criteriadecision-making methods are mainly used for the evaluation, comparison and selection of individual sustainable city logistics initiatives in relation to the achieved or planned effects resulting from their introduction in various urban environments. In order to assess the suitability of the conceptual solutions to the requirements of different stakeholders, and in accordance with the specific attributes of the urban environment, there is the definition of conceptual solutions that combine different sustainable city logistics initiatives by using an artificial; intelligence tools including FCM.

Full textThis work presents a planning problem in a distribution network incorporating two levels inventory management of perishable products, lot-sizing, multi-sourcing and transport capacity with a homogeneous fleet of vehicles. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) a greedy heuristic and a reactive randomized heuristic are developed to solve this real planning problem. There are some instances for which the solver CPLEX cannot give a good upper bound within the limited time and for other instances it takes a lot of time to solve MILP. The heuristics are alternatives to the mixed integer linear program to quickly solve some large instances taking into account original and difficult constraints. For some instances the gap between the solutions of the solver (MILP) and the heuristics becomes quite significant. The variable neighborhood descent (VND), the iterated local search (ILS) and the multi-start iterated local search (MS-ILS) are implemented. These methods are included in an APS (Advanced Planning System) and compared with a MILP solver. The instances are derived from actual data or built using a random generator of instances to have wider diversity for computational evaluation. A lagrangian relaxation is developed to compare the solutions of the instances, for which CPLEX cannot give a good upper bound within the limited time, with the other methods (greedy heuristic, VND, ILS and MS-ILS). A lagrangian heuristic is proposed; the solution of lagrangian relaxation is used to build a feasible solution with a repair heuristic

The first part of this research investigates critical business aspects of π-transit related to its specific design. To reach this goal, the Business Model Canvas proposed by Osterwalder and Pigneur (2010) is used to develop a business model for this specific Physical Internet component. The second part of this research investigates the effect of location on the π-transit business model. A conceptual framework is elaborated to identify the various components affecting a π-transit’s business model, each one being divided into elements. The impact of location on the business model is analyzed for each element through a set of indicators. The framework is then applied for analyzing the business environment of sites located in metropolitan areas. The last part of the research investigates the effect of a set of location factors on the potential for profitability of π-transits. An analytical model is developed and validated through correlation and regression analyses using data from a large-scale simulation experiment.

Full textA supply chain is a set of companies that manufacture and distribute products to consumers. We study the “bullwhip effect” that is propagated therein by modelling each company as an intelligent agent. This effect is the amplification of the variability of orders placed by companies, as one moves away from end-customers. Firstly, we model each company in a Québec wood supply chain as an intelligent agent, in order to propose two decentralized coordination mechanisms reducing this phenomenon. Simulations of this multi-agent system show that our mechanism is efficient for a supply chain as a whole. Secondly, additional simulations are used to build a game, which we analyze with Game Theory. We verify here that companies have no incentive to cease unilaterally from using our two coordination mechanisms (Nash equilibrium).

Full textNowadays, optimizing transportation activities implies making decisions about many activities at the same time. This doctoral dissertation focuses on complex distribution problems, specifically tour optimization taking the factory's production calendar and the customers' demand calendars into account. The manufacturing network studied is composed of a factory, a distribution center (DC) and a set of customers. Depending on the context, the customers may be final users or retailers. The deliveries are made with a private limited fleet of homogenous vehicles owned by the network, supplemented, when it is necessary, by common carriers. To solve this problem many decisions must be made, such as determining the quantities to deliver; choosing the type of vehicles to use and their routing; deciding how to manage the DC inventory, which is supplied according to the production calendar; and establishing the delivery dates with respect to the demand calendars. Given the number of decisions that need to be made, this complex problem was divided into three main research themes, each one devoted to a part of the problem. These main themes are 1) multi-period routing in a production/distribution network, 2) vehicle routing with a private heterogeneous limited fleet and a common carrier, and 3) vehicle routing with split deliveries and production and demand calendars. The idea was to develop methods that could be reused in future projects. The first main theme concentrates on route planning and scheduling given a production calendar that governs inventory availability and demand calendars that impose delivery of the requested quantities of each product at the latest dates possible. These planning and scheduling decisions are made more complex by the availability of only a limited private fleet of heterogeneous vehicles for deliveries and by the distance of some customers which necessitates the use of multi-period routes. Heuristics for round trip transportation and routing with few customers were developed. The second theme focuses on a mono-period, mono-product vehicle routing problem in which the total capacity of the private limited fleet is insufficient to allow deliveries to all the customers. In this context, a common carrier is needed to supplement the transportation capacity. For each customer, a decision first has to be made as to whether the delivery will be made by the private vehicles or the common carrier. Then, for the deliveries by the private fleet, the type of vehicle and the routing must be determined. To solve this problem, a fast heuristic and a more complicated metaheuristic were developed. The third theme examines a split vehicle routing problem with production and demand calendars. In this context, inventory availability depends on the production calendar, and the customers impose the product quantities and the latest possible delivery dates via their demand calendars. For deliveries, both a limited private fleet of homogeneous vehicles and a common carrier are available. To solve this problem, first the delivery dates and the product quantities must be determined, and then the type of vehicle and the routes must be determined. To this end, a complex metaheuristic, using a tabu search algorithm, was conceived. The research for this dissertation led to four scientific papers. Three of these papers have been published, and the fourth is currently submitted for publication.

Full textIn recent years, the lack of wood supply predictability has been identified as a factor hindering the competitiveness of the forest sector. While several entities believe that the change in Quebec's forest regime in 2013 is one of the factors that led to this, it seems that the growing presence of a supplier-client relationship in wood procurement is also partially responsible. The problem of the lack of predictability is composed of two elements. First, no recognized definition of wood supply predictability has been proposed by the scientific community. Second, in practice, stakeholders do not seem to share a common understanding of what is wood supply predictability. In the absence of knowledge of the real causes of lack of predictability, it is difficult to come up with recommendations. To date, no study have addressed the issue of the lack of predictability of forest supplies. This work aims to fill this gap. A series of 20 interviews involving stakeholders of the forest supply chain was conducted. In addition, a case study of a Quebec pulp and paper mill examined wood supply predictability as part of procurement practices at the operational level. An evaluation methodology based on the data collection process in place, the contract allocation policy and the buyer forecasting methods have been applied. Based on our results, we define wood supply predictability as the ability to anticipate wood supply over time, within a certain degree of precision. 37 causes and 17 sources of the lack of wood supply predictability were identified through the interviews and the case study. These elements have been grouped into five categories. Finally, five causes specific to the management of suppliers and the monitoring of contractual agreements form the basis of recommendations aimed at improving predictability in the context of wood procurement. Four of the proposed recommendations favor contract allocation based on past performance of suppliers. A recommendation regarding quality monitoring of forecasts is also proposed.

Full textCollaborative planning is seen as a fundamental component of supply chain management. However, forest stands heterogeneity and the distributed environment of Québec’s forestry industry make it difficult to implement effective collaborative planning. In this context, forest planners have to face a double challenge. On the one hand, they must implement strategic orientations and respect the financial constraints specific to their organizations. On the other hand, they must work together to coordinate their supplies with the other factories that share the same territory. Reconciling these two elements of forest planning makes this exercise difficult. It is complex to reconcile the desire for autonomy of each organization and the need to co-ordinate factories’ supply. To address this issue, we explored the potential benefits of systems integration for the forest sector. The literature on this concept of organization and management of supply chains shows significant benefits for other manufacturing sectors. However, there is little evidence in the literature of the contributions of systems integration to the particular context of forest supply chains. We also mobilized some concepts from the field of supply chain collaboration. This field of research offers relevant insights to reflect on an appropriate multi-organizational governance model that reconciles the dichotomy between "autonomy" and "interdependence". To achieve our goals, we conducted a multiple case study using a qualitative research method. Five case studies were selected based, among other things, on the level of systems integration employed. As a result, we have been able to better understand how a system-integrator third party interacts with supply chain organizations to facilitate collaborative forest planning. From our results, we first observed that a system-integrator third party helps to make the forest planning process more efficient when there is a good fit between the level of complexity in the coordination context and the observed level of systems integration. We then found that a system-integrator third party helps to ensure and maintain a collaborative culture and build trust in the collaborative planning exercise being studied. Finally, a system-integrator third party allows forest supply chains under study to improve the management of information sharing by enhancing interoperability between ministry and industry organizations. Key words: Collaborative planning, forest planning, systems integration, supply chain collaboration, forest supply chain, case study, qualitative research.
