The supply chain of spare parts is the intersection between the supply chain, the after-sales
and the maintenance services. Some authors have tried to define improvement paths in terms
of models to satisfy the performance criteria. In addition, other authors are directed towards
the integration of risk management in the demand forecasting and the stock management
(performance evaluation) through probabilistic models. Among these models, the probabilistic
graphical models are the most used, for example, Bayesian networks and petri nets.
Performance evaluation is done through performance indicators.
To measure the appreciation of the supply of the spare parts stock, this paper focuses on the
performance evaluation of the system by petri nets. This evaluation will be done through
an analytical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze the performance of
the system by proposed indicators. First, we present a literature review on Petri nets which
is the essential tool in our modeling. Secondly, we present in the third section the analytical
study of the model based on bath deterministic and stochastic petri networks. Finally, we
present an analysis of the proposed model compared to the existing ones.
In this article we present an industrial application of our mathematical model that integrates
planning and scheduling. Our main objective is to concretize our model and compare the
reel results with the theoretical ones. Our application is realized on a conditioning line of
pharmaceutical products at the ECAM EPMI production laboratory. For this reason and to
save time, we used Witness simulation tool. It gives an overall idea of how the line works,
the Makespan of each simulation and it highlights areas for improvement. We looked for
the best resulting sequence which corresponds to the minest Makespan and total production
cost. Then this sequence is applied on the conditioning line of pharmaceutical products for
simulation. On the other hand, we program our mathematical model with the parameters of
the conditioning line under python in version 3.6 and we adopt a simulation/optimization
coupling approach to verify our model.
