This paper presents a new decision making approach for group multi-criteria supplier selection problem, which clubs supplier selection process with order allocation for dynamic supply chains to cope market variations. More specifically, the developed approach imitates the knowledge acquisition and manipulation...

This article is a contribution to the decision-maker's requirements to adapt resource allocation and define rewards according to the performance assessments at each milestone of an improvement action plan execution. Our approach is based on Performance Measurement Systems relating interacting elementary...

The objective of this research is to study various assessment methods used in modern test systems. Methods based on classical test theory and IRT (item response theory) have been considered in this paper. The approaches to improve the quality of assessment of the ability level as a function of the diversity...

Industrial performance has for a long time been considered as a result of technical resources optimization. During the recent decades, competencybased approach has emerged as a promising concept for taking into account human skills/knowledge/abilities while addressing organizational goals and constraints....

In complex simulations, multi-agents systems allow to model virtual humans with an explicit cognitive process representation. However, this cognitive process is hard to model and is therefore generally simplified in an application-dependant way. In order to improve the realism of individual and collective...

Genetic algorithm is one of the main heuristics that have been applied to scheduling problems in the last few decades. This paper presents a generalization of the genetic algorithm for solving project scheduling problem under time uncertainties within resource leveling technique. The generalization consists...

Taking into account the uncertainty of real data in the planning process is a real challenge for nowadays companies. It is suggested in this communication to take into account the demand uncertainty, but also the uncertainty on the lead times, for deciding which quantities of components should be released,...
