A simulation-based decision support system The example of a furniture manufacturer

چکیده
In this paper, we address a way to improve a classic kanban control system, by using kanban cards as an informational/decisional entity in order to enrich shop-floor information/decision. The realtime information collected and the simulation tool proposed enable to coordinate distributed decision according to a unique and global performance indicator. Our proposition consists in enabling any shopfloor decision maker to evaluate different kanban priority scenarios according to a unified objective, taking into account the global situation of the workshop. Models of the data collection and decision support system are presented. A generic information system enables to provide a relevant view of shop-floor status. Such information will be useful to efficiently feed a real-time simulation tool in order to evaluate solutions .The application is illustrated using the case of an industrial furniture manufacturer.

One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...
