Abstract

This is a summary of the main results presented in the author’s Ph.D thesis, supervised by C. Prins and defended at the Université de Technologie de Troyes in October 2006. The thesis, written in French, is available from the author upon request. It deals with the integrated optimization of production planning and distribution in supply chains. A single product case and a multiproduct case are investigated. Integer linear programming models are proposed and different approaches based on heuristics, metaheuristics and cooperative methods are developed. Significant savings are obtained, compared to classical decoupled methods. These results confirm both the interest of integrating production and distribution decisions and of using metaheuristics for the largest instances.
