L'évaluation des technologies de traçabilité utilisées dans une supply chain forestière en France

CAHIER DE RECHERCHE n° 2012-05 E5Les démarches de labellisation et la mise en place de la traçabilité sont devenues des moyens incontournables pour promouvoir les principes du développement durable dans la forêt française qui souffre d'une sous exploitation de ses richesses naturelles, ce qui menace sa compétitivité économique et sa biodiversité. Cependant, choisir une technologie de traçabilité adaptée aux conditions de la forêt et qui ne nécessite pas un changement organisationnel radical, reste un défi majeur pour les supply chain forestières en France. Dans cet article, nous allons présenté une partie des résultats de la première phase d'un projet de mise en place d'un système de traçabilité forestière en France, qui a consisté à recensé, caractérisé et évalué les technologies les plus utilisées dans la filière forestière, afin d'aider les entreprises de la filière en France à appréhender la complexité des technologies existantes et adopter le système de traçabilité qui répond à la fois à leurs besoins et aux besoin de leurs partenaires supply chain

The complexity in the French Wood Supply Chain reduction: A traceability perspective

Cahier de Recherche n° 2012-01 E5The supply Chain(SC) represents a complex and dynamic open system characterized by a dissipative structure and a positive entropy (Wang, 2008). To better understand the SC dynamic bahavior, we present in this paper a conceptual framework to explain how the SC complexity can decrease the operational performance and the valueadded creation

Mitigating Supply Chain System Entropy by the Implementation of RFID

Cahier de recherche du CERAG 2011-05 E5Information transfer in the supply chain is complex and causes instability and unpredictable behavior, when information transferred is incomplete or incorrect. This instability is characterized by the Bullwhip Effect that represents concretization of entropy, namely the degree of disorder within a system. In this paper we assume that "complete" and "accurate" real-time information sharing concerning product and inventory levels through RFID reduces entropy and limits its effects on the supply chain. RFID can reduce information loss and increase accuracy. From the literature we show that RFID can improve visibility, reduce uncertainty and complexity of the supply chain permitting us to conclude that it represents a regulatory mechanism of informational entropy in the supply chain

Integrating lean and agile practices for achieving global sustainability goals in Indian manufacturing industries

The rising global pressure from stakeholders regarding climate change and its implications for the various aspects of manufacturing have pressured industrial leaders to develop greater environmental responsibility. This has motivated companies and researchers to identify and incorporate various strategies for ecologically sustainable operations. Analyzing the relationship between 'lean' and 'agile' (leagile) practices appears to be a tangible way to become more sustainable, specifically in an emerging economy such as India. The literature has investigated lean and agile practices for enhancing sustainability, although most studies have not adequately framed their analyses of both aspects simultaneously. This limitation of previous studies is the motivation for the present work. The current study expands the scope of previous literature by identifying and prioritizing leagile practices through the lens of sustainability. This study uses a combination of fuzzy set theory and the best-worst method (BWM) for identifying and prioritizing the leagile practices that are effective for Indian industrial leaders. The study is validated for the Indian automotive sector so that industry leaders can implement the requirements of the 'Green India Movement', as recommended by governmental decrees
