Supplier evaluation process within a self-organized logistical network

International audienceOver the past years the relationships between industrial companies have dramatically evolved, the objective being the improvement of the internal management of each of the partner companies and of their global performance in meeting the requirements of the customers. The control of the relationship between partner companies concerns all the actions they develop together to achieve their common objectives and to react at the right time to any failure of one of the partners. A negotiation between the partners is thus required, and this approach involves the management and organization of each partner’s production. The client companies will have to optimize at the same time both their production and their relationships with their suppliers. The suppliers will have to position themselves in reply to the calls for proposals emitted by client companies and demonstrate their capacity to support these companies while using their own assets. This paper aims at improving the control of the customer - supplier relationship by proposing an organization of all the partners called "self organized logistic network". In this network, each supplier can evaluate his performance using a multicriteria decision aid method. The objective of the suppliers evaluation process is threefold to select the reliable supplier who delivers low-cost products or services that meet the customers’ requirements, to ensure that the suppliers with whom the company operates are reliable and satisfy the needs of the client company in terms of quality, quantity, delivery times, etc, and also to dynamically monitor the relationship between the supplier and the customer

Control by quality: proposition of a typology

International audienceThe application of Quality tools and methods in industrial management has always had a fundamental impact on the control of production. It influences the behavior of the actors concerned, while introducing the necessary notions and formalizations, especially for production systems with little or no automation, which constitute a large part of the industrial activity. Several quality approaches are applied in the workshop and are implemented at the level of the control. In this paper, the authors present a typology of the various approaches that have successively influenced control, such as statistical process control, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. First the authors present a parallel between production control and quality organizational structure. They note the duality between control, which is aimed at increasing productivity, and quality, which aims to satisfy the needs of the customer. They also note the hierarchical organizational structure of these two systems of management with, at each level, the notion of a feedback loop. This notion is fundamental to any kind of decision making. The paper is organized around the operational, tactical, and strategic levels, by describing for each level the main methods and tools for control by quality. The overview of these tools and methods starts at the operational level, with the Statistical Process Control, the Taguchi technique, and the "six sigma" approach. On the tactical level, we find a quality system approach, with a documented description of the procedures introduced in the firm. The management system can refer here to Quality Assurance, Total Productive Maintenance, or Management by Total Quality. The formalization through procedures of the rules of decision governing the process control enhances the validity of these rules. This leads to the enhancement of their reliability and to their consolidation. All this counterbalances the human, intrinsically fluctuating, behavior of the control operators. Strategic control by quality is then detailed, and the two main approaches, the continuous improvement approach and the proactive improvement approach, are introduced. Finally, the authors observe that at each of the three levels, the continuous process improvement, which is a component of Total Quality, becomes an essential preoccupation for the control. Ultimately, the recursive utilization of the Deming cycle remains the best practice for the control by quality

Vanishing Frontiers: a Javanese Plantation Emplacement, 1870s – 2000s

The introduction of the Agrarian Law of 1870 led hundreds of would-be Dutch planters to try their luck in the plantation business. Soon, dots of settlements where coolies from lowlands were housed emerged on the island map. Plantation emplacements were different from ordinary villages, as they were established mainly to keep the labor force ready to work. They were regimented villages. Using data collected from Jolotigo tea plantation in Central Java, this paper discusses how a plantation emplacement was established, reached its heyday, and eventually dissolved in the course of history. I will use this discussion to question the old thesis of the domination of workers by capitalistic enterprises. Is a capitalistic plantation company really powerful enough to control workers in order to guarantee its business interests

A self organized holonic control for mechatronics complex systems: application to a robotized car park

International audienceIn this paper, we describe the two conditions so that a complex system, composed of several mechatronics machines, may be qualified as a mechatronics system. The first condition reflects the aptitude of these machines to work together without the intervention of a central decision system of higher hierarchical level. The second reflects their aptitude to manage their own behavior and to generate the tasks to be carried out in the context of their execution. A self organized holonic control accomplishes these conditions. An example of implementation of this approach is presented with the application to a robotized car park
