Abstract

Mass customization has a significant impact on supply chains. The management of these highly dynamic organizations requires the development of adapted decision support systems. The agent approach appears fit for modelling and simulating mass customization supply chains. This paper presents a methodological approach for agent oriented modelling and simulation that is based on specific modelling levels and formalisms. The approach is illustrated through a case from the Golf industry.

La production à grande échelle de produits personnalisés a un impact considerable sur les chaînes logistiques. La gestion de ces organisations fortement dynamiques, nécessite le développement d'outils d'aide à la décision adaptés. L’approche agent paraît indiquée pour la modélisation de ces chaînes dynamiques et pour le développement d'outils de simulation. Cet article présente une démarche méthodologique pour la modélisation et la simulation orientées agents reposant sur des niveaux de modélisation et des formalismes spécifiques. Cette démarche est illustrée avec un cas issu de l’industrie du Golf.
