 Inventory management in distribution networks remains a challenging task due to the demand nature and the limited storage capacity. In this work, we study a three-level, a multi-product and a multi-period distribution network consisting of a central warehouse, three distribution centres and six wholesalers. Each of them faces a random demand. In order to optimise the inventory management in the distribution network, we first propose to make a horizontal cooperation between actors of the same level in the form of product exchange; then we propose a second approach based on vertical-horizontal cooperation. Both approaches are modelled as a MIP model and solved using the CPLEX solver. The objective of this study is to analyse the performance in terms of costs, quantities in stock and customer satisfaction.

Au cours des dernières années, les entreprises sont émergées dans un environnement concurrentiel avancé. Afin de répondre aux exigences de réduction des coûts, la demande des clients, les délais imposés, la qualité et l'amélioration de la variété, les entreprises doivent améliorer leur performance pour rester compétitives, survivre et se développer. Pour atteindre cet objectif, plusieurs modèles sont utilisés comme TQM (Total Quality Management), Kaizen, JAT (Just A Time), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), BPR (Business Process Reengineering) et Six Sigma, etc. Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes focalisés sur des modèles efficaces (aspirés de l’approche Six Sigma,) utilisés principalement pour justifier la compétitivité d'une entreprise. On s’intéresse particulièrement aux modèles DMAIC (Définir, Mesurer, Analyser, Innover et Contrôler, le modèle DPMO pondéré (défauts par million d'Opportunité) et au modèle ROF (Rendement optimal des flux. Ces modèles sont appliqués pour mesurer les niveaux de processus et d'évaluer la compétitivité de l'entreprise. Les résultats de ces modèles sont appliqués dans deux systèmes industriels de fabrication du ciment et des bouteilles à gaz.

Fault prognostics of rolling element bearing based on feature extraction and supervised machine learning: Application to shaft wind turbine gearbox using vibration signal. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science [Internet]. 2021;235 (20). Publisher's VersionAbstract
Renewable energies offer new solutions to an ever-increasing energy demand. Wind energy is one of the main sources of electricity production, which uses winds to be converted to electrical energy with lower cost and environment saving. The major failures of a wind turbine occur in the bearings of high-speed shafts. This paper proposes the use of optimized machine learning to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of bearing based on vibration data and features extraction. Significant features are extracted from filtered band-pass of the squared raw signal where the health indicators are automatically selected using relief technique. Optimized Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) by Partical Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to model the non linear degradation of the extracted indicators. The proposed approach is applied on experimental setup of wind turbine where the results show its effectiveness for RUL estimation.

Bensakhria M, Abdelhamid S. Hybrid Heuristic Optimization of an Integrated Production Distribution System with Stock and Transportation Costs, in International Conference on Computing Systems and Applications. Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems book series ; 2021. Publisher's VersionAbstract
In this paper we address the integration of two-level supply chain with multiple items, production facility and retailers’ demand over a considered discrete time horizon. This two-level production distribution system features capacitated production facility supplying several retailers located in the same region. If production does take place, this process incurs a fixed setup cost as well as unit production costs. In addition, deliveries are made from the plant to the retailers by a limited number of capacitated vehicles and routing costs are incurred. This work aims at implementing a solution to minimize the sum of the costs at the production facility and the retailers. The methodology adopted to tackle this issue is based on a hybrid heuristic, greedy and genetic algorithms that uses strong formulation to provide a good solution of a guaranteed quality that are as good or better than those provided by the MIP optimizer with a considerably larger run time. The results demonstrate that the proposed heuristics are effective and performs impressively in terms of computational efficiency and solution quality.

In this paper, we address the integration of a two-level supply chain with multiple items. This two-level production-distribution system features a capacitated production facility supplying several retailers located in the same region. If production does occur, this process incurs a fixed setup cost and unit production costs. Besides, deliveries are made from the plant to the retailers by a limited number of capacitated vehicles, routing costs incurred. This work aims to implement a minimization solution that reduces the total costs in both the production facility and retailers. The methodology adopted based on a hybrid heuristic, greedy and genetic algorithm uses strong formulation to provide a suitable solution of a guaranteed quality that is as good or better than those provided by the MIP optimizer. The results demonstrate that the proposed heuristics are effective and performs impressively in terms of computational efficiency and solution quality.

Soltani M. Implémentation et déploiement d’une nouvelle approche à base de Lean Six Sigma pour le développement et l’amélioration de la durabilité de la production des petites et moyennes entreprises. Génie industriel [Internet]. 2021. Publisher's VersionAbstract

L’objectif de ce travail de thèse et de développer des nouvelles approches permettant aux petites et moyennes entreprises d’améliorer les performances de leur processus de fabrication. Nous avons développé trois approches aspirées du Lean Six Sigma (LSS) pour l’amélioration de la production dans un contexte conventionnel et classique d’une part et d’autre part dans un contexte de production durable. Dans la première approche nous avons proposé une approche Lean Six Sigma conventionnelle pour évaluer et suivre la compétitivité d’une PME en fonction des résultats obtenus par la méthode VSM. Dans la deuxième approche, nous avons proposé une nouvelle extension de l’approche LSS vers le contexte de la production durable en incorporant des algorithmes multicritères quantitatives. Cette approche nous a permis de surmonter quelques barrières au niveau du processus de l’application du LSS. Dans La troisième approche nous avons présenté une amélioration de l’approche LSS qui vise à montrer l’effet positif des algorithmes multicritères qualitatives flous pour surmonter certaines barrières du Lean Six Sigma liées aux phases d’analyse et d’amélioration de l’état actuel des processus de fabrication. Les approches proposées sont appliquées dans deux entreprise algériennes pour améliorer et contrôler la durabilité de leurs processus de fabrication.

With the evolution of the internet of things (IoT), and due to its significant need in the industry, Industrial IoT (IIoT) becomes the suitable naming for this accompaniment. IIoT changed the view of the industry intelligently and over the internet. This overlapping of IoT and industry requires special treatment when systems deal with heterogeneous devices in a distributed environment and complex tasks. In this paper, we propose a middleware solution based on multi-agents system (MAS) to handle the distributed control of complex systems autonomously in an industrial environment. The proposed middleware enables machine-to-machine (M2M) communications among the system’s components. In this work, we also addressed the distributed diagnostic for real industrial system using MAS with a new suitable communication strategy to support the heterogeneity and interoperability issued in IIoT and assure real-time monitoring and control. Finally, we present a qualitative evaluation of our solution on real case study (cement factory).

Zerari N. INTÉGRATION D’UN MODULE DE RECONNAISSANCE DE LA PAROLE AU NIVEAU D’UN SYSTÈME AUDIOVISUEL - APPLICATION TÉLÉVISEUR. [Internet]. 2021. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Cette thèse propose de concevoir et réaliser un système de reconnaissance automatique de la parole destiné à commander à distance un système audiovisuel à savoir : un Téléviseur. Le système global "bout en bout" se scinde en deux blocs : le premier cherche à extraire les meilleures caractéristiques à partir du signal vocal d’entrée. A cet effet, plusieurs techniques d’extraction de caractéristiques vont être examinées et testées. Concernant le deuxième bloc, nous mettons en évidence une multitude de techniques relevant du domaine de l’apprentissage profond, dont l’impact est d’adapter et de d’affirmer les caractéristiques extraites pour donner en final la classe de l’énoncé. La validation des différentes méthodologies présentées dans cette thèse a été effectuée sur la base de deux jeux de données réelles, le premier est tenu compte pour une évaluation initiale, tandis que le second est con\c cu exclusivement pour le système ASR proposé dans cette thèse. Les résultats obtenus ont certifié l’efficience des approches proposées. Le défi pour les travaux futurs est d’évaluer ce type de système dans des conditions plus réalistes avec des signaux vocaux issus des milieux bruités.
