This study focuses on precooling operations for post-harvest fruits and vegetables in smallholder countries, aiming to provide an effective way to reduce product losses in the early stage of food supply chains. In this study, we consider the traditional centralized precooling and emerging mobile precooling to fulfill a series of small-scale and sca...
Dans les entrepôts logistiques, la manipulation robotisée des boîtes en cartons, composants basiques du conditionnement en palette, est effectuée presque exclusivement par un bras robotique anthropomorphe muni d'un préhenseur de type pince ou ventouse. Or les opérateurs humains qui accomplissent ces tâches utilisent généralement leurs deux bras et ...
This paper aims to investigate the impact of monopoly power on the world of work within the logistics segment, particularly in the context of automation processes. We conduct a fieldwork analysis of three workplaces situated in Italy, each owned by distinct types of monopolies: a corporate monopoly, Philip Morris, the global leader in tobacco and c...
Cette thèse porte sur les trajectoires professionnelles des chauffeurs du transport routier de marchandises (TRM). Ils sont une fraction stable des classes populaires grâce à une qualification reconnue, des trajectoires continues dans l'emploi et des salaires élevés. Pourtant, le TRM est en mutation. L'organisation du travail encadre plus fortement...

The effective and fair allocation of COVID-19 vaccinations within a certain geographical area presents a complex issue, requiring a thorough optimization approach that considers logistical and quality considerations. This abstract offers a succinct summary of the primary factors and goals involved in tackling the intricacies of vaccine distribution...
Logistics is a labor- and asset-intensive industry, characterized by numerous operational processes managed by heterogeneous partners, which are tightly interconnected. Maximizing resource utilization and ensuring efficient stakeholder coordination within logistics operations pose significant challenges. Recently, Digital Twin (DT) technology has g...
This study addresses the parallel stack loading problem, a general optimization problem arising in storage facilities such as container yards, slab yards, and warehouses. In this problem, we load incoming items into parallel stacks in the loading phase to minimize the number of relocations in the subsequent retrieval phase. Because of difficulties ...
Proper distribution and location decisions have a direct impact on the accessibility of health care services and customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to explore the Capacitated Location and Routing Problem (CLRP) in health care, using a real case study from a non-governmental organization (NGO). At the strategic level, the study focu...
The present research has delved deeper into the complex relationship of customer care calls with purchasing behavior in a WM system and has developed actionable insights to optimize operations. In this regard, the following critical factors have been considered: product attributes-cost, weight, and discount-on one hand, and delivery performance in ...
