The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), coupled with other capabilities such as Cloud Computing and many others, creates opportunities for the development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) at the scale of a digital business ecosystem. It will impact the way engineers work when designing, developing, deploying, operating, or maintaining complex systems-of-systems, with increasing needs concerning security, agility, and interoperability. The Federated Interoperability Framework (FIF) has been developed for Aeronautic Space and Defence over the last years to prepare and build continuous operational Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) interoperability. This paper aims at illustrating, defining, and demonstrating the required evolutionary nature of the FIF from its genesis, by describing past, last, and future evolutions, in particular for the PLM Standards testbed, Virtual manufacturing and CPS. Then Evolvability is defined and discussed, and the provided presentation of the FIF evolutions used to demonstrate its evolutionary nature, making the FIF contributing to the State of the Art and the State of the Practice.

Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is one of the well-known methods of quality management that is used for continuous improvement in product or process design. This method uses linguistic expressions and has good information about cause-effect chains. However, it lacks probabilistic information. Transforming it into a Bayesian Network (BN) makes it possible to be used in maintenance for both diagnosis and prediction. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method that uses as much information as possible from FMECA, including frequency and detection to precisely make the configuration of the BN. To build a BN’s structure from FMECA, we elaborate a tool to do it systematically. Moreover, we develop an algorithm to set the parameters of a BN obtained. Elicitation methods based on expert knowledge are used when data is not sufficient. A case study of FMECA in the automotive industry is introduced to verify the applicability of the proposed method in an industrial environment.

This chapter presents a support approach for the building and the selection of multidisciplinary teams. In the first part, we propose a new general model for multidisciplinary team building. The proposed model takes professional’s preferences into account when a team building process is required for any type of project. In the second part, we develop hybridization between a multicriterion decision method and a cognitive method for selection teams. The developed methodology is based on the experiences of the past operations in order to select the adequate team for a new operation. We test the effectiveness of the model using health care domains of different complexities and describe some practical experiences of using the model in the surgical team building process.

Access to electricity and supplying reliable energy are the key elements that support local economic development and contribute to reducing poverty. Moreover, the problem of environmental protection can be considered as a factor of sustainable development. In response to these many challenges, appropriate national and regional policies, as well as mechanisms, have been implemented. In Mali, strong dependence on the importation of oil, growth in demand, and the low rate of electrification have pushed the highest authorities to think of diversified technological solutions like renewable energy for the satisfaction of energy demands, especially photovoltaics, for which the country has significant potential. The hybrid systems used is a compromise, because the emission rate of carbon dioxide emitted by thermal power plants must be reduced and limited to preserve supernatural disasters. For this, hybrid photovoltaic systems coupled to the grid increased, but the management of the production of these photovoltaics poses a lot of problem due to its intermittent status. It is in this context that we conducted an optimization study of a hybrid system photovoltaic connected to the grid. We applied our approach to the most extensive distribution post of Mali capital. For the simulation, we used the modeling and simulation tool named HOMER.

One of the most innovative solutions treated in the literature in order to reduce the environmental impact of urban parcel delivery logistics is the use of drones for delivery on the last kilometer. Consequently, nowadays, the primary challenge is essentially related to the drones’ fleet sizing according to its means of support for the urban delivery of parcels. In this paper, we will discuss the issue of dimensioning from a forecast of deliveries of an urban perimeter, the size of the fleet, the stock of battery to dispose of and the strategy of battery charging. We will present an analytical model expressing the proposed problem of the optimal drones’ delivery mission taking into account the issues of autonomy and energy consumption related to the drone’s technical specification. According to the developed analytical model, two optimization policies will be proposed. The first policy consists of planning missions under reducing distance. The second policy tries to make a compromise between the distance and the number of drones. A case study will be presented in order to compare the two policies based on the overall cost of a plan. The main objective of the study is to create a decision-making tool for the design of a drone fleet in the case of forecast deliveries over a time horizon under operational constraints.

During the last years, important research investments have been made by Airbus Group Innovations for the establishment of sustainable Product and Process data interoperability based on open standards. Driven successively by concurrent engineering, collaborative product design in the virtual enterprise or digital behavorial aircraft, it was capitalize through the establishment of a federative interoperability framework. Driven by factory of the future-related research, the dynamic manufacturing network (DMN) concept enriched the framework, which aims at providing agile infrastructure for networked collaborative product development. For such networks, protocols based on open eBusiness product lifecycle management (PLM) standards for exchange and sharing of product and process data between the implied organizations, their processes and the technical enteprise applications supporting these processes are needed This paper presents a new way of combining model-based enterprise platform engineering, model-driven architecture, and system engineering in order to adress the establishment of a sustainable interoperability within DMN. Based on relevant litterature interoperability issues, this paper describes the new approach, which relies on the association of effective existing technologies coupled with research results on the fields of model-driven engineering (MDE), enterprise interoperability, system engineering and PLM. The new approach relies on the concept of digital factory system (DFS) coupled with DMN in order to produce sustainable and agile collaborative infrastructure for manufacturing digital ebusiness ecosystem. The approach is then illustrated through use case coming from the IMAGINE project and an outline is provided on how it will be used and developed further for the assessment of PLM standards and their implementation in the Standard Interoperability PLM project at IRT-Systemx.

Today Enterprise Interoperability is considered as a key factor of successful collaboration. It was identified as a critical need that has to be taken into account all along the lifecycle of a manufactured product. To deal with this problem and to reduce complexity of the different systems of interest used when different companies have to collaborate together, Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Enterprise Modelling (EM) are considered as solutions to facilitate Enterprise Interoperability. Dealing with interoperability issues in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), we have to mention the importance of product data and process standards implementation as interoperability enablers. In order to address the complexity of PLM standards, we propose to apply a model-driven methodology for modelling these standards and the related collaboration scenarios. This approach intends to make standards more comprehensive and to better manage standards evolutions, but also to instantiate and re-use these “generic” standards models to specify specific business collaboration scenarios. This proposal aims also to facilitate the exchange, testing and simulation of standards implementations. In this paper, the focus is on the ISA 95 standard for manufacturing-PLM integration, with an exchange scenario between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) based on ISA 95 standard.

International audienceThis paper suggests a proactive approach in the selection of transportation management systems (TMS). The idea is to perform a two directional benchmark analysis, where the company shall in the first step benchmark its business requirements to the market solutions. In the second step it shall assess its maturity level of its transportation management organization and business processes to determine the priorities of its optimization plans. This essential step will help the company to target precisely the requirements of its future TMS. This approach was applied to a major European airline company, from starting with the essential and necessary steps to get from the identification of the need for a TMS to the pre-selection of vendors and recommendation on how to proceed on the project to enhance maximal collaboration in transportation management

This paper aims at illustrating some limitations of the systemic approach when willing to ensure the interoperability of PLM solutions within a Dynamic Manufacturing Network (DMN), based on e-Business PLM standards and their implementations, being industrial processes, methods, applications or Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) solutions. Indeed, addressing interoperability challenges in such a complex digital business eco-system calls for a holistic approach based on the “system” paradigm. Setting this way, a part of our goal is to underline the limits and drawbacks of such an approach as interoperability brakes and to derive the issues that must be addressed in terms of research in order to remove them. This paper introduces a new approach in order to set up a test bed environment for PLM standards. The required and proposed approach considers a PLM standard not only as a technical solution, but above all as a strategic solution for which it is mandatory to support and enhance discussions between enterprise, product/system, processes, ICT architects and designers. The proposed approach - for analyzing and assessing the relevancy of PLM standards regarding their usage in specific business contexts - will be illustrated with a multi-layer modeling language. This language is used to model standards-based business collaboration scenarios and to model the test bed environment that will enable the execution/simulation of this scenario and the assessment of related standards implementations regarding the business needs of the scenario. The addressed case study is based on a data exchange scenario between a customer production order scheduler and a supplier production order executer using the ISA 95 standard. From this example, the interoperability issues related to DMN system of systems will be identified, for which accurate test based methods will be defined in future work.

Current trends in manufacturing enterprises dealing with complex systems are usage of System Engineering, Product Life Cycle management and systematic utilization of computer aided solutions for all engineering or management activities. In such a context, sustainable and agile infrastructure for emerging digital ecosystems is required, based on open eBusiness PLM standards supporting exchange, sharing and long term archiving of digital models describing behavioural products and implied organizations. This paper will present some new ways to deal with interoperability in such a context, based on Dynamic Manufacturing Networks, constituted by a network of partner enterprises, of enterprise applications involved in the cross-organizational collaboration processes and of the underlying ICT systems. The approach will consist in qualifying such a network to support a portfolio of cross organizational processes supported by a PLM Hub, in particular in terms of interoperabilty and in terms of security, and to map it with available capabilities used by the actual collaboration participants. Then it will be possible to define the efforts required by the partners in order to be able to participate to a given kind of collaboration, making then it possible to participate in any other future collaboration where the partner will play the same role. Doing so, interoperabilty can be established in a continuous and smooth way, allowing all the digital business ecosystem community to build together their interoperability maturity. This approach is completed by the ellaboration of an associated testbed for eBusiness PLM standards allowing the community to accelerate development of required standards as well as their implementation, being by software product solutions or by industrial processes and methods. The principles will be exposed, as well as illustrations coming from research projects such as IMAGINE or IRT-SystemX SIP projects.

This article focuses on sustainability performance in supply chain management (SCM) and adding the “Green” concept to it so as to emphasize the importance of environmental issues and the need of eco-friendly systems. The purpose of this study is to propose a model for evaluating the sustainability performance of green supply chain management (GSCM). This article seeks to develop key performance measures for GSCM incorporating considerations of sustainable development (SD).We present a literature review on green supply chain management and sustainability performance measurement. Key indicators for the green supply chain performance measurement under the context of sustainable development are derived from a literature. We propose an analytical model to explore the influence of green practices on the sustainability performance in supply chain. This is a first step towards providing a comprehensive overview that explains the relationship between GSCM and sustainability performance. We conclude by suggesting perspectives for future research.

Distributed systems are characterized by heterogeneity and also by multiple applications often interdependent whose programming is done by separate teams with no communications between them. Dysfunctions and problems that occur in these systems have multiple and important consequences. Difficulties encountered during discovering origins and causes of these problems are proportional with user information quality demand. In this paper a method to manage incidents in information systems using decision analysis is proposed.

In this paper, we present an approach to carry out an analysis of the performance of given industrial supplies or of a group of machines. This approach defines a target group for machines whose unavailability can indeed seriously hinder the objectives of production, and generates high maintenance costs. We will refer to the data of maintenance to identify the major failures and to classify relevant causes. The Bayesian networks have been used to better grasp the causes of failures and to quantify unavailability related to with these failures.

In this paper, simulation model based optimization is developed. It concerns a maintenance process for an industrial case. We propose the integration of simulation model with genetic algorithm of a maintenance system in order to optimize the number of failures repaired and the stopping time of the machines. For this, we initially modelling the workshop as it currently exist in order to provide better organization and we apply genetic algorithm to optimize the resulting parameters.

Recently, software maintenance was transformed into a major preoccupation on improving the software performances. Software maintenance depends on customer or user requirements. A requirement is translating into a minor change, but it is more costly to implement than to anticipate. Under such circumstances a study of the software performances could provide useful information, especially when the system is complex and sophisticated. This paper focuses on how to ensure the quality of software during its exploitation so as to improve software maintenance procedures.

Reverse logistics focuses on the backward flow of materials from customer to supplier (or alternate disposition) with the goals of maximising value from the returned item or minimising the total reverse logistics cost. Reverse logistics is practiced in many industries like steel, aircraft, computers, photo-copiers, automobiles, plastics, carpets, paper, chemicals, appliances and medical items. In this study, a multi-criteria decision making method in fuzzy environment is developed to guide the selection process of best reverse logistics provider.

The most important step of product recovery is disassembly. End of life (EoL) product disassembly process is always needed in remanufacturing for reuse, in recycling, and disposal. The deployment of this process is complicated because of the unavailability of certain data such as the component conditions of the product that guide toward the contextual optimal disassembly planning (ODP). This paper develops a predictive model to make into account continually the defective conditions of all components of EoL product in order to determine the most profitable disassembly depth. The decision-making model uses linear programming formalism to perform most profitable disassembly plan and entropy analysis to increase the chances to select the successful of disassembly operation. This analysis allows also identifying “emergent causalities” between certain defective descriptors and operative successes. The approach is demonstrated by a case study of EoL vehicle.

An essential criterion for a disassembly system is the benefit it brings, that is the revenue brought by the retrieved parts and material, decreased by the cost of their retrieval. In the recycling industry the main problem is the uncertainty that occurs during the disassembly operations. A fast scheduling algorithm is proposed so as to optimize the income flow of the disassembly system taking into account alternative destructive operations. Two examples from industry are given.
