چکیده
Solving Strategic and Tactical Optimization Problems in City Logistics Urban freight transport is a matter of increasing concern in the economic, commercial, social and environmental operations of our cities, due to the constantly increasing growth and urbanization of the civilization. An improved management of the traffic related to the freight transport can have a positive impact in many respects: security, congestion of the road network, noise and air pollution, costs. City Logistics studies the dynamic management of urban freight transport in order to deliver distribution systems solutions that may be suitable for both the community and freight carriers. This thesis originates from the ANR Project MODUM, which proposes a freight distribution system based on a ring of Urban Distribution Centers (UDCs) located in the outskirts of a city. In the first part, this system is studied from both a strategic and a tactical point of view. The Multicommodity-Ring Location Routing Problem (MRLRP) considers long-term decisions, i.e. the installation of the UDCs and the ring connection, without disregarding more tactical aspects. The MRLRP has been tackled by three solution methods, which proved effective on a large set of test instances. In the second part of the thesis, the Vehicle Routing Problem with Intermediate Replenishment Facilities (VRPIRF) is studied. The VRPIRF is a more tactical problem that arises in City Logistics each time both the multi-trip and the multi-depot features, i.e. the possibility for a vehicle to be reloaded at one of a set of facilities, are present. Several exact algorithms, namely two of type Branch&Cut and two of type Branch& Price, have been developed for this problem. Computational experiments on benchmark instances taken from the literature have been conducted to assess their performance, leading to very promising results.

Technological potential of logistics service providers and the relationship dynamics
The paper discusses many results of a survey among French logistics service providers. The defended idea is that the technological effort of logistics service providers provides competitiveness for the relationships and moreover for the whole Supply Chain. To be innovative can be viewed as a yardstick of the provider’s autonomy and capacity to joint flows management. Technological Effort thus e...
متن کاملProposition d'une matrice de criticité intégrant les systèmes Qualité, Sécurité et Environnement pour la fonction maintenance
Nous présentons, dans un premier temps, les raisons d’intégration des systèmes Qualité, Sécurité et Environnement en se basant sur la revue de la littérature et sur les résultats d’un questionnaire réalisé auprès de vingt PME/PMI marocaines. Puis, nous montrons les liaisons existantes entre la fonction maintenance et ces trois systèmes. Ensuite, nous proposons notre matrice de criticité, ainsi ...
متن کاملStrategic Alignment: A Purposeful Perspective
Des approches traditionnelles a l’alignement stratégique ont été critiquées parce qu’elles soulignent l’hiérarchie et le rationalisme. Ces approches ont eu comme conséquence les théories et les modèles conceptuels qui ne s’appliquent pas bien aux situations réelles qu’on rencontre dans les enterprises. Ce papier de recherche en cours offre une nouvelle perspective sur l’alignement stratégique q...
متن کاملInteracting Hospital Departments and Uncertain Patient Flows
P.T. Vaerkel In this thesis we address a number of challenging problems related to health care logistics. These problems are motivated by hospital managers who collaborated in the research, and the results are applied at their hospitals. The general results are valid in other hospital settings and the solution approaches used to cope with system complexity and patient flow uncertainty are novel...
