The growing interest in sustainability has pushed governments to elaborate new legislations and orientations and, in turn, has led companies and organizations to consider sustainability goals in their strategies, operations management, and decision-making processes. This is the case in natural resources supply chains, and particularly in forest pro...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution offers new opportunities for improving the efficiency and agility of supply chain operations such as transportation. This study explores the impact of integrating truck platooning technology in forestry products supply networks. Companies need to know how and where to use truck platooning in transportation networks...

Cet article a pour but d'analyser des travaux scientifiques ayant proposé des solutions permettant d'améliorer la continuité informationnelle dans de grands réseaux de la santé et de services sociaux. D'abord, cette étude décrit l'importance de l'interopérabilité pour permettre la continuité informationnelle ainsi que les types d'interopérabilités...

Cette revue de la littérature s'intéresse à la gestion de la transformation numérique (TN) dans le milieu de la santé. Elle est réalisée en collaboration avec le CIUSSS Centre-Sud-de-l'île-de-Montréal (CCSMTL) (Québec, Canada) qui a récemment entamé sa TN. Cette étude présente dans un premier temps les technologies numériques le plus utilisés dans...

Ce projet réalisé à l'hôpital de Verdun (Montréal) vise à améliorer les délais dans le processus d'attribution de rendez-vous aux patients ayant besoin d'une consultation en médecine spécialisée. Les étapes du DMAIIC ainsi que plusieurs principes et outils du Lean ont été utilisés pour définir un nouveau processus, identifier des solutions et faire...

Purpose This study aims to improve accessibility to frontline psychological services for youths in difficulty. In the province of Quebec, Canada, the first significant intervention must take place within 30 days for at least 75% of the clients. Achieving this target is challenging. This was observed in the Youth Programme of a health-care network i...

Performance management in the healthcare sector is a major challenge. Healthcare organizations might deal with many challenges related to services accessibility and quality as well as human and material resources management. This paper presents a roadmap for implementing the Balanced Score Card (BSC) in a large healthcare network in the region of M...

To meet healthcare organisations' goals such as satisfying their customers in terms of service quality, they need an efficient performance management system. This paper provides an approach to implement a new performance measurement system (PMS) for a large healthcare network in the region of Montreal, Canada (CIUSSS Centre-Sud-de-l'île de Montréal...

This study proposes a multi-criteria approach for the problem of make or buy, in the context where Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is considered as a source of competitive advantage for the company. The approach is inspired from the MEDIE model developed by [7]. Potential activities to outsource (or to back-source) are evaluated against three...

Allocating public resources to companies competing for the same finite resources is complex. This paper aims at addressing this problem in the Canadian forest products sector, where more than 90% of the forests are public-owned. The paper demonstrates that the problem of forest resources allocation is well captured by cooperative game theory approa...

Ce projet est réalisé au centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) Centre-Sud-de-l'île-de-Montréal. Il vise à améliorer les délais d'accès aux services psychosociaux de 1ère ligne pour une prise en charge rapide des jeunes en difficulté. Au Québec, la première intervention significative auprès des jeunes doit être réalis...

Involving stakeholders in the decision-making process can be very complex and time consuming. Decision theater (DT), which enables the combination of visualization and decision modeling capabilities together with human capacity of insight and interaction, is proposed for addressing this challenging problem in the forest sector. A generic framework...

This chapter presents an overview of the methods and challenges behind carbon footprinting at the supply chain level. We start by providing some information about the scientific background on climate change. This information is necessary to clarify the overall methodology behind carbon footprinting measurement. We also briefly review the main motiv...

An approach to developing a wood pellet supply chain (SC) which selects among several sources of biomass feedstock is proposed. The approach is based on a downstream to upstream analysis of the SC and includes five phases: (1) Identifying potential markets and projected demands. (2) Determining feedstock types, locations, and available quantities....

A generic framework for designing decision theaters (DTs) is proposed. The implementation of this framework is illustrated on community forest management in the province of Québec. In particular, we develop the conceptual design of an integrated Forest Community Decision Support System (FC-DSS). FC-DSS aims at supporting complex forest management p...

Cet article présente une revue de la littérature systématique sur les modèles de conception et de planification des CL durables en Recherche Opérationnelle (RO). L’objectif est de rendre compte de l’intégration des aspects économiques, environnementaux et sociaux dans les modèles mathématiques. Nous nous intéressons aux critères de la performance d...

This paper explores past and current developments and applications of decision theaters and discusses their potential benefits for participatory planning in the forest sector in Québec. A participatory mechanism involving the users of forest resources and the territory is illustrated through three regional cases studies. We identify the main challe...

This paper presents a systematic literature review on sustainable supply chain design and planning models in the field of Operations Research (OR). The goal is to analyse to which extent economic, environmental and social aspects are integrated into mathematical models. The focus is drawn on sustainahility performance criteria considered, and the w...

This paper addresses the problem of the selection of harvest areas and wood allocation to mills at the tactical planning (5 years planning horizon) at the forest management unit and regional levels. Simple approaches to weight different targets (multi-objective optimization) and include spatial aspects (reduced spatial dispersion) have been develop...

Malgré l'abondance de la biomasse forestière dans l'Est canadien, l'industrie forestière en fait peu d'usage. Ceci est principalement dû au coût relativement élevé de l'accès à la fibre. Toutefois, si la transformation de la biomasse en bioproduits (granules, charbon de bois, etc.) est judicieusement intégrée à la chaîne de création de valeur des p...

Traditionnellement, les modèles de conception et de planification de la chaîne logistique en RO se focalisent essentiellement sur la minimisation des coûts. Or, avec l’avènement des préoccupations environnementales et sociales, la performance de la chaîne logistique n’est plus seulement économique mais a évolué vers une performance tridimensionnell...

Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. internationale.

This paper proposes an integrated approach for transposing sustainable development principles to supply chain planning models. Inspired by research on performance measurement, we designed a method that links sustainability performance to supply chain decisions, and allows setting coherent performance measures. By transposing this method to a multi-...

Nous proposons une méthode intégrée pour la planification des chaînes logistiques (CL) durables, structurée en trois phases. La première fait le lien entre la performance durable et les décisions de planification des opérations de la CL. La deuxième permet de rendre compte des caractéristiques du système de production mis en œuvre. Dans la troisièm...

We address the problem of supply chain management in the context of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). We propose an integrated approach allowing the operationalization of the economic, environmental and social performances at the strategic, tactical and operational decision levels of the supply chain. In particular, we apply our approach to th...

This paper proposes an integrated approach that embeds the economic, environmental and social performances in the planning activities of the supply chain (SC). The approach is applied on a realistic case study inspired by the lumber industry where divergent manufacturing processes and various cutting patterns are involved. We first identify the sus...
