Dynamic dimensioning of logistics resources : Case of production workshop: Analogy with the problem of bin-packing Moroccan multinational company

Abstract

The present work deals with a complex topic of physical flow; it includes the dimensioning of logistics human resources in the productions lines. This involves modeling then measuring and optimizing its handling workload in order to improve physical flow. This problem can be formalized by mathematic equations, and seen as a bin packing problem; two cases are defined, the core model of bin packing with 1 dimension, and the bin packing with conflicts (incompatibilities). All of this, by applying a variety of industrial and scientific knowledge tools such as SMB, Chrono-analysis, and Bin-Packing. In order to solve the bin packing problem, we have to select simple and strong heuristics, after adapting them to our case, and validate all the constraints. Besides, we can use the sequential coupling (Heuristic - list algorithm). Finally, we will apply our method in a real industrial context.
