GLOBAL MODELLING OF AN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAIN APPLIED TO PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT DECISION-SUPPORT

摘要

Automotive industry is nowadays characterised by a huge diversity of proposed models, a shorter and shorter product's life cycle and an increasing concurrency between generalist builders. Satisfying customers implies improving Quality and reducing Costs and Lead-time. To stay economically competitive in such a context, it is compulsory to use the production system at the best. Optimising locally the production does not ensure a global performance. That is why we propose in this paper a global modelling of French car manufacturer PSA Peugeot Citroen's Supply Chain. Such an approach allows highlighting and evaluating global impacts of local decision-making. Lastly, we will introduce a decision-support tool, dedicated to factory management.
