	abstract = {\&nbsp;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.},

	abstract = {In this paper we analyze a problem of inventory management in a multi-levels multi-products distribution network with three echelon, the studied system consists of a central warehouse and three distribution centers identified by their location zones where each center is connected to a wholesaler group that serve the retailers of his region, which in turn feeds the customers of the regions located in the Algerian territory. The aim of this study is to apply a collaboration between the different actors of the same level in a form of an exchange of products, the exchange can occurs only when the actual demand is being received, in order to study the impact of product exchanges in the distribution networks and its influence on the total costs of the logistics chain from the central warehouse to the delivery to the final customer.},

	address = {Fez, Morocco},
	abstract = {In this work, we introduce the objective of minimizing energy consumption in a job shop scheduling problem with unidirectional transport constraint. In this problem, it is planned to process a set of N jobs (parts) on four machines. The Movement of jobs between these machines is in a single direction that is mean all the parts follow the same direction of movement. Indeed, the energy consumption in this type of problem depends; on the one hand on the speed of the machines processing the jobs and on the other hand on the speed of the means of transport. To solve this optimization problem, we have proposed a metaheuristic method that allows us to find a better sequencing of jobs in order to minimize the cost generated by energy consumption. Several simulations have been studied and the results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.},
