L'intégration de la logistique dans les domaines d'aménagement du territoire : contribution à la conception d'un système d'aide à la décision dédié / Integration of logistics in areas of spatial planning : Contribution to the conception of a dedicated Decision Support System

Sassi, Ebtissem 05 April 2019 (has links)
Il est bien connu que l'écosystème industriel territorial représente aujourd'hui un enjeu majeur dans les politiques d’aménagement du territoire. De ce fait, il constitue un système d’action où les différents acteurs impliqués utilisent des différentes approches et dont les objectifs ne sont pas toujours proches et les points de vue parfois conflictuels. Toutes approches confondues, un type idéal de tableau de bord incorporant des indicateurs et centré sur le pilotage de la performance émerge aujourd'hui de la littérature.Dans ce contexte, il apparaît l'importance du traitement de la problématique d'évaluation d'un écosystème industriel territorial et plus précisément l'évaluation de la performance d'un système de distribution dans une zone portuaire : l’hinterland. Ce sujet n'a pas été assez développé dans la littérature puisqu’il n’a pas été traité selon une approche pluridisciplinaire.Cette problématique est caractérisée par la forte liaison entre l'infrastructure de transport, le système territorial et les zones logistiques suite à l'échange des flux de marchandises dans le territoire à travers l'infrastructure de transport. L'apport théorique de ce travail se présente dans la démarche originale d'investigation qui met en contribution des approches théoriques différentes dans le but de comprendre et résoudre une problématique relative à deux systèmes complexes (le système logistique et le système territorial). Pour plus de clarté, ce travail s'agit d'une aide à la décision à travers la réflexion sur les solutions de distribution en intégrant les spécificités territoriales et non pas comme un outil d'optimisation des tournées ou de l'organisation logistique. / It is well known that the territorial industrial ecosystem is now a major issue in territory planning policies. As a result, it constitutes a system of action in which the various actors involved use different approaches and whose objectives are not always close and sometimes conflicting points of view. In all approaches, an ideal type of dashboard incorporating indicators and focusing on performance pilotage is emerging today from the literature.In this context, it appears the importance of the treatment of the problem of evaluation of a territorial industrial ecosystem and more precisely the evaluation of the performance of a distribution system in a port area: the hinterland.This subject has not been sufficiently developed in the literature since it has not been treated with a multidisciplinary approach.This problem is characterized by the strong link between the transport infrastructure, the territorial system and the logistics zones following the exchange of goods flows in the territory through the transport infrastructure.The theoretical contribution of this work is presented in the original investigation approach, which involves different theoretical approaches in order to understand and solve a problem related to two complex systems (the logistics system and the territorial system).For clarity, this work is a decision aid through the reflection on distribution solutions by integrating territorial specificities and not as a tool for optimizing tours or logistics organization.

Multi-agent decision support system in avionics : improving maintenance and reliability predictions in an intelligent environment

Haider, Kamal January 2009 (has links)
Safety of the airborne platforms rests heavily on the way they are maintained. This maintenance includes repairs and testing, to reduce platform down time. Maintenance is performed using generic and specific test equipment within the existing maintenance management system (MMS). This thesis reports the work undertaken to improve maintainability and availability of avionics systems using an intelligent decision support system (IDSS). In order to understand the shortcomings of the existing system, the prevalent practices and methodologies are researched. This research thesis reports the development and implementation of an IDSS and the significant improvements made by this IDSS by integrating autonomous and independent information sources by employing a multi-agent system (MAS). Data mining techniques and intelligence agents (IA) are employed to create an expert system. The developed IDSS successfully demonstrates its ability to integrate and collate the available information and convert into valuable knowledge. Using this knowledge, the IDSS is able to generate interpreted alerts, warnings and recommendations thereby reasonably improving platform maintainability and availability. All facets of integrated logistics support (ILS) are considered to create a holistic picture. As the system ages, the IDSS also matures to assist managers and maintainers in making informed decisions about the platform, the unit under test (UUT) and even the environment that supports the platform.

Increasing Availability Through Reduced Delays in Large Systems : A Case Study Based in Systems Engineering, Integrated Support Logistics, and Lean / Förbättrad tillgänglighet genom minskade väntetider i stora system : En fallstudie baserad på systemteknik, integrerat logistikstöd och lean

Nilsson Nordahl, Erik January 2022 (has links)
Increased trends towards servitization within previously exclusively manufacturing industries makes a larger part of maintenance become the responsibility of the manufacturer. This increased responsibility makes it more important for suppliers to know how different parameters contribute to cost, to be able to price their contracts correctly. Systems Engineering (SE) and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) are two current methodologies on how to manage large systems. These methodologies are mainly used within defence industries and large capital-intensive infrastructure projects but are today also utilised in civilian industries. With the new methodology of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and the new demands of servitization it becomes more important to know how different parameters affect the final cost of a project during the very early phases of development. Within ILS the parameters Administrative Delay Time (ADT) and Logistics Delay Time (LDT) have previously not received attention proportional to their contribution to overall availability in projects. This thesis is based in literature, interviews of industry professionals, and the study of a real case of an electrical charging infrastructure project currently in development. From these sources multiple paths to resolve the issues with support from ILS, MBSE, SE, and other management literature are explored. Several attributes of the case, and characteristics of MBSE and ILS leads to the conclusion that coupling the methodologies with Lean methods would lead to better insight into where critical points in the explored system are and give ways of resolving issues with ADT and LDT that exist. The combination of MBSE and Lean methods could successfully identify possible critical points in the error handling of the electrical charging infrastructure system early in the process of implementation. Conclusionary the combination of MBSE, ILS, and Lean is a possibly powerful way to identify and improve the availability and consequently the cost of a project in the early stages. / Tjänstefiering är en trend som gör att en allt större del av underhåll inom tidigare endast tillverkande industrier blir tillverkarens ansvar. När detta ansvar ökar blir det viktigare för tillverkaren and veta vilka parametrar som är kostnadsdrivande. Detta för att kunna prissätta sina tjänster korrekt. Systemteknik (SE) och Integrerat Logistikstöd (ILS) är två metodologier som används till att hantera underhåll av stora system. Dessa nyttjas främst inom försvarsindustrin och inom kapitalintensiva infrastrukturprojekt, men används även i privat industri. Med hjälp av en utveckling inom SE, Modellbaserad Systemteknik (MBSE), och med de krav som tjänstefiering innebär så blir vikten av att ha korrekt angivna parametrar tidigt i projektet mer tydlig. Inom ILS är särskilt parametrarna administrativ väntetid (ADT) och logistisk väntetid (LDT) särskilt eftersatta med hänsyn till hur mycket de påverkar tillgängligheten och kostnaderna för systemet. Detta examensarbete baseras på tillgänglig litteratur inom nämnda områden, intervjuer med industrirepresentanter, och dokumentation och intervjuer i ett riktigt fall. Det riktiga fallet är ett pågående projekt för uppbyggnad och underhåll av laddningsinfrastruktur för eldrivna fordon. Från dessa källor utforskades och analyserades flera vägar för hur man skulle kunna förbättra hanteringen av ADT och LDT med grund i litteraturen kring ILS, MBSE, och SE med annan litteratur inom mangament som stöd. Fallets egenskaper, och egenskaper hos ILS och MBSE leder till slutsatsen att en kombination av MBSE och Lean skulle leda till att man lättare kan utforska kritiska delar av ett underhållssystem, och åtgärda existerande problem med ADT och LDT. En kombination av dessa principer kunde identifiera kritiska punkter i felhanteringssystemet hos laddarna i infrastrukturprojektet trots att projektet befann sig tidigt i implementationen. Slutligen kan konstateras att MBSE, ILS och Lean är en möjlig kraftfull kombination för att förbättra tillgängligheten tidigt i ett projekts livscykel.

The development of a framework for an integrated logistics support system within a high technology industry in a developing country

Lambert, Keith Richard 31 March 2008 (has links)
Competitive and high-risk environments require complex high technology systems, which need to be supported and maintained over their respective life cycles. These systems often have a significant consequence of failure, and require complex management systems to achieve their operational objectives. Significant leadership and management challenges exist, not only in South Africa, but also in other developing countries, where systems may be utilised beyond the lifespan they were designed for and are susceptible to obsolescence. This study was conducted by following a structured process; the research consisted of three stages. The first stage dealt with the research problem, including the delimitations of the study. The second stage was further divided into three phases. The first phase deconstructed the appropriate literature, which included the interpretation of numerous definitions of logistics, integrated logistics support, and the integrated logistics support elements. In addition, the research was grounded in the fields of operations management, supply chain management and integrated logistics support. The second phase focused on the deconstruction of six case studies from four different high technology complex systems. From the analysis of the first two phases followed the third phase of research, which focused on the identification of areas requiring further research. Further research was conducted by means of a questionnaire, the results of which were analysed for variable dependency and variable association. The third stage of the research included the collation and analysis of the findings of the first two stages of research. The analysis utilised the principles of Mode 2 research and design science research, whereby an ILS framework and associated grounded technological rules have been recommended. These recommendations are robust in nature, as they can be applied in the most challenging environment and circumstances as identified. Furthermore, by grounding the theory in the disciplines of operations management, supply chain management and integrated logistics support, the reliability, validity, relevance, and applicability of the study could be substantiated. This implied that the generated theoretical knowledge could be transferred to and applied in practice, and as such, an organisation can reap substantial value added benefits, and gain considerable competitive advantage in the market place by applying this developed ILS framework and associated ILS grounded technological rules. / Business Leadership / D.

Modelizado para la planeación de la producción y la logística directa e inversa de una cadena de suministro cuyo abastecimiento depende parcialmente de los materiales de retorno

Parra Peña, Javier 10 November 2016 (has links)
[EN] In this Thesis, we analyze an industry type that has two basic features: Its products are distributed in a geographic level and it reuses material after that is consumed to made new products. Because of these features, it represents a logistics challenge. This kind of supply chains is characterized also by having various stages that permit to carry the products from facility plants to the final customer. First, it is analyzed the supply chain structure, from production, in facility plants to the final customer by retailers, downstream; and from the customer, when returnable materials are liberated, classification and transport upstream to facility plants , where are prepared and used many times, until the end of their usable life. The attention focus is the integration of two fundamental functions of the supply chain management, in this case, production planning and distribution planning including the collection of reusable materials. It is precise to plan the production to satisfy retailers demand and to the procurement of returnable materials which after being consumed return to the process. It is made a bibliographical review about production planning, reverse logistics and vehicle routing and, it is built mathematical programming models to make decisions in production planning (in facility plants), inventories planning (in all the supply chain), and the deliveries that should be done in both senses in their respective routes. As a result of this research, there are three models of Mixed Integer Linear Programming: -Production planning model: Mathematical model which represents all the facilities in each one of the levels of the supply chain and their geographical localization. It lets to determine production and stock levels and delivery quantities in order to satisfy the demands in a planning horizon of several periods. This model has capacity constraints for both production and storage, constraints of demand, compatibility between products and facilities because not all the products can be in all facilities, and constraints of direct deliveries among determinate nodes in the supply chain (particularly between plants and retailers), especially. -Vehicle routing model: mathematical model that represents products distribution from different source nodes to destine nodes, it use a heterogeneous fleet, in a time period. One of the model assumptions is that a node acts as product emitting or recipient (facility plants or retailers). However, an intermediate node can take one of these roles depending if is the origin or destine of goods. This model has fleet use constraints, volume, and mass capacity vehicle constraints, fluxes in the supply chain. A vehicle can visit several destine nodes after leave from a source node, and a node can be visited by one or more vehicles (because of compatibility conditions between products and nodes or by economical aspects) and there are soft and strong time windows. -Integrated logistics and production management model: It is a model that join the two previous models, because of it, it is possible to plan production, inventories, and vehicle routing for a horizon time of several periods. Three proposed models have the objective of minimizing the total cost and are evaluated with testing instances. The Models were built using Gurobi 6.5.1 optimization model and Python2.7 pro- gramming language. Moreover, it was built a constructive heuristics and a genetic algorithm using Python programming language and Pyevolve software, as an alternative to solving routing vehicles, to reduce execution time. / [ES] En esta tesis se analiza un tipo de industria en el que: sus productos son distribuidos ampliamente a nivel geográfico y emplean elementos que una vez usados regresan al proceso de fabricación para hacer parte de nuevos productos. Este tipo de cadena se caracteriza por la presencia de varios eslabones que permiten acercar el producto al consumidor final. Se hace un análisis de la estructura de la cadena de suministros, desde la producción, en las plantas hasta su llegada al cliente final por intermedio de los detallistas, en el sentido "aguas abajo", y desde el consumo del producto y la consecuente liberación de los materiales reutilizables que deben conducirse "aguas arriba" hasta las plantas de producción, donde son preparados y utilizados una y otra vez hasta el final de su vida útil. El foco de atención consiste en la integración de dos funciones fundamentales de la cadena de suministros: la planeación de la producción y la distribución del producto con la consecuente recolección de los materiales de retorno. Se precisa realizar la planeación de la producción de manera que dé satisfacción a la demanda que tiene lugar en los detallistas, y que se abastezca de los materiales de retorno que una vez consumido el producto se reincorporan al proceso. Se hace una revisión bibliográfica sobre planeación de la producción, logística inversa y ruteo de vehículos y; se construyen modelos de programación matemática que soportan la toma de decisiones en la planeación de la producción, de los inventarios (en toda la cadena de suministros), y de los envíos que deben realizarse en uno y otro sentido en las correspondientes rutas. Como resultado de la investigación se presentan tres modelos de programación lineal entera mixta (MILP), así: -Modelo de planeación de la producción: representa la cadena de suministros a partir de las instalaciones de cada uno de los niveles y su ubicación geográfica, y determina los volúmenes a producir, a almacenar y las cantidades que se deben enviar desde cada nodo de la cadena de suministros a los demás, de modo que se satisfaga la demanda en un horizonte de planeación compuesto por varios periodos. Este modelo presenta restricciones de capacidad tanto de producción como de almacenamiento, de demanda, de compatibilidad de productos con las instalaciones, y de envíos directos entre determinados nodos de la cadena de suministros. -Modelo de ruteo de vehículos: representa la forma en que se deben distribuir los productos desde los diferentes nodos fuente a los diferentes nodos destino, haciendo uso de una flota heterogénea de vehículos, en un periodo de tiempo. El modelo se hace bajo el supuesto de que los nodos son o emisores o receptores del producto, un nodo intermedio asume uno de estos roles según si es origen o destino de las mercancías. Presenta restricciones asociadas al uso de la flota, a su capacidad tanto en masa como en volumen, los flujos a lo largo de la cadena bajo la premisa de que un vehículo parte de un nodo fuente y puede visitar varios nodos destino antes de regresar, y de que un nodo puede ser visitado por varios vehículos (por condiciones de compatibilidad entre nodos y productos o porque resulta más económico), ante la presencia de ventanas de tiempo tanto rígidas como suaves. -Modelo integrado de gestión de producción y logística: reúne los dos modelos anteriores, es decir, permite la planeación de la producción, la gestión de los inventarios y el ruteo de vehículos para un horizonte de planeación determinado. Los tres modelos se proponen con el objetivo de minimizar los costes totales y son evaluados con instancias de prueba. Los modelos fueron implementados haciendo uso del software de optimización Gurobi y del lenguaje de programación Python. Además, se implementó una heurística constructiva y un algortimo genético utilizando Python y el software Pyevolve, como alternativa a la solución del VRP, para reducir el tiem / [CAT] Aquesta tesi s'analitza un tipus d'indústria que: els seus productes són distribuïts àmpliament a nivell geogràfic i fan ús d'elements que una vegada usats tornen al procés de fabricació per a fer part dels nous productes. Aquest tipus de cadenes es caracteritza per la presència de diversos eslavons que permeten acostar el producte des de les plantes de producció fins a arribar al consumidor final. Es fa una anàlisi de l'estructura de la cadena de subministraments, des de la producció, en les plantes fins a la seua arribada al client final per mitjà dels detallistes, en el sentit "aigües a baix", i des del consum del producte i el conseqüent alliberament dels materials reutilitzables que han de conduir-se "aigües a dalt" fins a les plantes de producció, on són preparats i utilitzats una vegada i una altra, fins al final de la seua vida útil. El focus d'atenció consisteix en la integració de dues funcions fonamentals de la cadena de subministraments: la planificació de la producció i la distribució del producte amb la conseqüent recol·lecció dels materials de tornada. Sobre aquest tema, es precisa realitzar la planificació de la producció de manera que done satisfacció a la demanda que té lloc en els detallistes, i que es proveïsca dels materials de tornada que, una vegada consumit el producte, es reincorporen al procés. Es fa una revisió bibliogràfica del relacionat amb planificació de la producció, logística inversa i enrutament de vehicles i es construeixen models de programació matemàtica que suporten la presa de decisions en la planificació de la producció, dels inventaris (tota la cadena de subministraments), i dels enviaments que han de realitzar-se en un i un altre sentit en les corresponents rutes. Com a resultat de la recerca es presenten tres models de Programació Lineal Sencera Mixta (MILP), així: -Model de planificació de la producció: representa la cadena de subministraments a partir de les instal·lacions de cadascun dels nivells i la seua ubicació geogràfica, i es determinen els volums a produir, a emmagatzemar i les quantitats que s'han d'enviar des de cada node de la cadena de subministraments als altres, de manera que se satisfaça la demanda en un horitzó de planificació compost per diversos períodes. Aquest model presenta restriccions de capacitat tant de producció com d'emmagatzematge, de demanda, de compatibilitat de productes amb les instal·lacions, i d'enviaments directes entre determinats nodes de la cadena de subministraments, entre altres aspectes. -Model de enrutament de vehicles: representa la forma en què s'han de distribuir els productes des dels diferents nodes font als diferents nodes destine, fent ús d'una flota heterogènia de vehicles, en un període de temps. Els nodes són o emissors o receptors del producte, encara que en la seua utilització un node intermedi pot assumir un d'aquests rols segons si és origen o destinació de les mercaderies. Per a aquest model es tenen en compte les restriccions associades a l'ús de la flota, a la seua capacitat tant en massa com en volum, els fluxos al llarg de la cadena sota la premissa que un vehicle parteix d'un node font i pot visitar diversos nodes destine abans de tornar, i que un node pot ser visitat per diversos vehicles, davant la presència de finestres de temps tant rígides com suaus. -Model integrat de gestió de producció i logística: reuneix els dos models anteriors, és a dir, permet la planificació de la producció, la gestió dels inventaris i el enrutament de vehicles per a un horitzó de planificació determinat. Els tres models es proposen amb l'objectiu de minimitzar els costos totals i són avaluats amb instàncies de prova, apropiades. Els models van ser implementats fent ús del programari d'optimització Gurobi i del llenguatge de programació Python. A més, es va implementar una heurística constructiva i un algortime genètic utilitzant Python i el programari Pye / Parra Peña, J. (2016).
