In high diversity, Just In Time production environments, mixed-model assembly lines aim at producing a large amount of end products that use alternative variants of components used in the assembly process. Therefore, the availability of parts required at the border of the assembly line is...

The bullwhip effect (BWE) describes a phenomenon that involves the increasing amplification of demand variability along a supply chain (SC). The BWE has been a subject that has received continuous attention from researchers over the past 15 years and is a concern for SC managers because it is a...

This article focuses on the calculation of the optimal stock-out risk for a component, which is used by alternative modules mounted on several assembly lines. The studied context is a supply chain dedicated to the mass production of highly diversified products, which is common in the automotive...

L'effet coût de fouet (ECF) correspond au phénomène d'amplification croissante de la variabilité de la demande en remontant le long de la chaîne logistique (CL). Il fait l'objet d'une attention soutenue par les chercheurs depuis une quinzaine d'années et préoccupe les gestionnaires de CL...

This article focuses on the monitoring of a supply chain dedicated to a mass production of strongly diversified products and more particularly in the part of this chain which contributes to the production of a set of alternate modules assembled on a work station of the assembly line. The...
