Simulation and optimization methods for logistics pooling in the outbound supply chain

Logistics pooling and collaborative transportation systems are relatively new concepts in logistics research, but are very popular in practice. This communication proposes a conceptual framework for logistics and transportation pooling systems, as well as a simulation method for strategic planning optimization. This method is based on a twostep constructive heuristic in order to estimate for big instances the transportation and storage costs at a macroscopic level. Four possible scenarios are explored and commented. Finally, a socio-economic analysis based on 20 semi-directive interviews is presented to propose the limitations and obstacles of logistics poolingLogistics pooling, supply chain management, optimization, group reasoning, simulation

La mutualisation

Ce document présente un premier état des lieux sur la mutualisation logistique. Il s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'état de l'art scientifique du projet LUMD (Logistique Urbaine Mutualisée Durable). Il présente les principales notions de base de la collaboration et mutualisation logistique, ainsi que les ses principaux avantages et inconvénients
