Cet article rend compte d'une recherche sur l'utilisation de la messagerie électronique (e-mail) dans la relation de contrôle hiérarchique. Trois caractéristiques de cette NTIC (caractère quasi-contractuel, large diffusion et convivialité) expliquent que l'e-mail soit un outil de...

In a supply chain designed for the production of goods of wide variety, the production schedule creates an ordered list of all the alternate components that will be mounted on a same post of the chain. The supply of these components by the supplier may induce transportation-related constraints....

The synchronization of the production of a manufacturing supplier, who makes alternate components assembled on his industrial customer’s work station with this client’s production specialized in mass production of highly diversified products, must take into account the improvement of their...

L'objet de cet article est de proposer une lecture des rôles des accords de partenariat industriel au travers de la littérature sur la gestion budgétaire. L'analyse confirme certains rôles proposés par la littérature inter-organisationnelle (notamment ceux de l'approche relationnelle), et...

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...

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

Dans une chaîne logistique composée d’une ligne d’assemblage (client industriel), dédiée à une production de masse de produits diversifiés et d’une unité de production (fournisseur), approvisionnant un poste de cette ligne en composants alternatifs, se pose la question du choix de...

This paper presents an integer programming formulation for the sequencing problem in mixed-model assembly lines where the number of temporarily hired utility workers and the number of sequence-dependent setups are to be optimized simultaneously through a cost function. The resultant model offers...

In an upstream supply chain dedicated to the mass production of customized products, many sources create production instability: the level and structure of production in the final assembly line, variability of lead times, quality issues, packaging and loading constraints on transportation,...
