Manutentionvignette|Manutention de casettes à la manufacture nationale de Sèvres. La manutention désigne l'action de manipuler, de déplacer des marchandises, des colis ou des documents dans un lieu de production ou de stockage tel un entrepôt, une usine, un magasin, un bureau, etc. On parle aussi de levage et parfois de levageurs pour désigner les activités et métiers de ce secteur. Il existe en France une « Union française du levage », syndicat qui dit représenter en 2019 60% des acteurs du marché français. Manutenti
Multimodal transportMultimodal transport (also known as combined transport) is the transportation of goods under a single contract, but performed with at least two different modes of transport; the carrier is liable (in a legal sense) for the entire carriage, even though it is performed by several different modes of transport (by rail, sea and road, for example). The carrier does not have to possess all the means of transport, and in practice usually does not; the carriage is often performed by sub-carriers (referred to in legal language as "actual carriers").
Logistique inverseLa logistique inverse ou logistique retour concerne toutes les opérations liées à la réutilisation des produits et matériaux. C'est le processus de déplacement des marchandises à partir du lieu de livraison final afin de capturer de la valeur additionnelle ou les éliminer de manière appropriée. Les activités de réparation et de remise sur le marché peuvent également être incluses dans la définition de la logistique inverse.
Inventory theoryMaterial theory (or more formally the mathematical theory of inventory and production) is the sub-specialty within operations research and operations management that is concerned with the design of production/inventory systems to minimize costs: it studies the decisions faced by firms and the military in connection with manufacturing, warehousing, supply chains, spare part allocation and so on and provides the mathematical foundation for logistics.
Aggregate planningAggregate planning is a marketing activity that does an aggregate plan for the production process, in advance of 6 to 18 months, to give an idea to management as to what quantity of materials and other resources are to be procured and when, so that the total cost of operations of the organization is kept to the minimum over that period. The quantity of outsourcing, subcontracting of items, overtime of labour, numbers to be hired and fired in each period and the amount of inventory to be held in stock and to be backlogged for each period are decided.
Inventory controlInventory control or stock control can be broadly defined as "the activity of checking a shop's stock". It is the process of ensuring that the right amount of supply is available within a business. However, a more focused definition takes into account the more science-based, methodical practice of not only verifying a business's inventory but also maximising the amount of profit from the least amount of inventory investment without affecting customer satisfaction.
Capacity planningCapacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period. Effective capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period due to constraints such as quality problems, delays, material handling, etc.
Stratégie push-pullLes termes commerciaux push et pull trouvent leur origine dans la logistique et la gestion de la chaîne d'approvisionnement, mais sont également largement utilisés en marketing et dans le secteur de la distribution hôtelière. Walmart est un exemple d'entreprise qui utilise la stratégie « push vs pull ». Il existe plusieurs définitions sur la distinction entre les stratégies push et pull. Liberopoulos (2013) identifie trois de ces définitions : Un système pull déclenche la production en réaction à la demande actuelle, tandis qu'un système push déclenche la production en prévision de la demande future.
Bullwhip effectThe bullwhip effect is a supply chain phenomenon where orders to suppliers tend to have a larger variability than sales to buyers, which results in an amplified demand variability upstream. In part, this results in increasing swings in inventory in response to shifts in consumer demand as one moves further up the supply chain. The concept first appeared in Jay Forrester's Industrial Dynamics (1961) and thus it is also known as the Forrester effect.
Logistique tierce partieThird-party logistics (abbreviated as 3PL, or TPL) is an organization's long term commitment of outsourcing its distribution services to third-party logistics businesses. Third-party logistics providers typically specialize in integrated operations of warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled and customized to customers' needs, based on market conditions, to meet the demands and delivery service requirements for their products.
