Book Description
La modélisation de la chaîne logistique "CL", proposée dans cette contribution, adopte une vision globale et tendancielle du fonctionnement de la chaîne. Vu la complexité et la grande diversité de la CL, la modélisation s'appuie sur une démarche modulaire et générique fondée sur le potentiel des Réseaux de Petri Continus à Vitesse variable (RdPCV) tout en introduisant des concepts issus de l’approche systémique. Notre modèle permet d'intégrer à la fois l’aspect physique, informationnel et décisionnel de la CL et s’adapte à la grande diversité de sa configuration. De plus, il permet, à travers sa description continue du phénomène de transfert des flux de la CL, de pallier les problèmes d’explosion combinatoire inhérents à la taille importante de la chaîne. Contrairement aux modèles de la CL existants, notre modèle offre une lisibilité en termes d'analyse des interactions entre les différents acteurs de la chaîne, et donne une vision globale plus claire de l’état de cette chaîne facilitant ainsi son analyse, l’évaluation de sa performance et le pilotage de ses différents flux.

Book Description
This work presents a comprehensive model of supply chain management. Experienced executives from 20 companies clearly define supply chain management, identifying those factors that contribute to its effective implementation. They provide practical guidelines on how companies can manage supply chains, addressing the role of all the traditional business functions in supply chain management and suggest how the adoption of a supply chain management approach can affect business strategy and corporate performance.

Book Description
Proceedings of a workshop, the scientific reviews and the contributed papers presented at the symposium. The document presents a brief historical summary of marine research in the Gulf; reports the discussions, conclusions and recommendations of the different working groups on oceanography (physics, biology, chemistry and sedimentology) and on the fishery (fish and invertebrates); then presents the discussions of each multidisciplinary working group, centered around how the St. Lawrence system may be used as a natural laboratory which will contribute to the solution of major long-term problems of conservation of natural resources and of the quality of the environment.

Book Description
In recent years, there has been a growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over the merits of using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there are now instances where both methodologies were employed on the same problem. This book details each method, comparing each in terms of both theory and their application to various problem situations. It also provides a seamless treatment of various topics--theory, philosophy, detailed mechanics, practical implementation--providing a systematic treatment of the methodologies of DES and SD, which previously have been treated separately.

Book Description
The first book in inference for stochastic processes from a statistical, rather than a probabilistic, perspective. It provides a systematic exposition of theoretical results from over ten years of mathematical literature and presents, for the first time in book form, many new techniques and approaches.

Book Description
This book summarizes current knowledge regarding the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, in an organized and comprehensive manner. It starts with the study of semiparametric methods when there are no missing data. The description of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models is both rigorous and intuitive, relying on geometric ideas to reinforce the intuition and understanding of the theory. These methods are then applied to problems with missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

Book Description
For the guest editor Remko I. van Hoek, in the field of logistics the debate between the 'lean' thinkers and those who advocate 'agility' is still very much alive. This special issue follows the International Conference on Agility in Helsinki, Finland, and is a collection of some of the best of the fifty papers presented there. The papers touch on agility in regards to forecasting, manufacturing, simulation, ERP and Chinese sourcing. The result is that the concept of agility can be considered as a practical path forward, rather than just a topic of academic debate.

Book Description
One critical barrier leading to successful implementation of flexible manufacturing and related automated systems is the ever-increasing complexity of their modeling, analysis, simulation, and control. Research and development over the last three decades has provided new theory and graphical tools based on Petri nets and related concepts for the design of such systems. The purpose of this book is to introduce a set of Petri-net-based tools and methods to address a variety of problems associated with the design and implementation of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs), with several implementation examples.There are three ways this book will directly benefit readers. First, the book will allow engineers and managers who are responsible for the design and implementation of modern manufacturing systems to evaluate Petri nets for applications in their work. Second, it will provide sufficient breadth and depth to allow development of Petri-net-based industrial applications. Third, it will allow the basic Petri net material to be taught to industrial practitioners, students, and academic researchers much more efficiently. This will foster further research and applications of Petri nets in aiding the successful implementation of advanced manufacturing systems.
Book Description
Le travail présenté dans cette thèse constitue une contribution à la modélisation et à l’analyse de performances des systèmes logistiques à l’aide d’un nouveau modèle de réseaux de Pétri stochastiques. Il s’agit d’une problématique au centre des préoccupations actuelles des entreprises industrielles mais très peu abordée par la communauté des réseaux de Pétri. Dans ce travail, nous développons un nouveau modèle de réseaux de Pétri dits réseaux de Pétri lots déterministes et stochastiques (BDSPNs) capable de supporter les caractéristiques essentielles des systèmes logistiques et plus généralement des systèmes à événements discrets. Ils sont particulièrement adaptés pour la modélisation de flux évoluant en quantités discrètes (lots de différentes tailles et variables) et ils permettent de prendre en compte des activités plus spécifiques telles que les commandes des clients, l’approvisionnement des stocks, la production et la livraison en mode lot. Les BDSPNs permettent par leur formalisme graphique et mathématique de capturer pertinemment et simplement cet aspect lot omniprésent dans différentes locations de ces systèmes et qui s’implique très considérablement dans leur comportement et par conséquent dans leur analyse. Nos travaux portent à la fois sur la théorie d’un nouveau modèle, sur ses techniques d’analyse et sur ses applications aux systèmes logistiques. Ainsi, les résultats obtenus et les applications effectuées font des BDSPNs un outil de modélisation performant aussi bien pour l’analyse que pour la simulation
