    Physical Internet inspired Atomic Modeling for Supply Chain Risk Management
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06) Cerabona, Thibaut ; Benaben, Frederick ; Gitto, Jean-Philippe ; Lauras, Matthieu ; Montreuil, Benoit
    At a time when instability is the norm, as the global health situation confirms, managers have to deal with increasingly complex situations. Managers expect to have decision support tools that allow them to manage this instability in order to suffer as little as possible. Simulation is one of the main tools to meet this demand. This paper presents the work in progress for the development of a modular supply chain simulation model inspired by the Physical Internet (PI). Its modules are developed from the processes defined in the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) tool. This simulation model will generate the inputs to apply Physics Of Decision (POD) approach, an innovative approach to risk management approach that draws on analogies with physical forces. This approach is dedicated to steering the performance trajectory of systems evolving in an unstable environment.

    Assessing the potentialities of Physical Internet for Developing Countries Last Mile deliveries
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06) Ban, Sam ; Dan, Andreea ; Guinet, Félix ; Portanguen, Julien ; Srang, Sarot ; Lauras, Matthieu
    Developing countries are so particular as transports are often saturated, infrastructures are in poor condition and the demand is growing so fast. In such a context, the studied research question is: Does Physical Internet (PI) can improve the Last-Mile delivery performance in developing countries? And if so, how and how-much? To start answering this, the paper develops a quick literature analysis of PI solutions to identify which paradigms could bring added value to developing countries. Then, it presents a dedicated simulation-driven method able to assess the potential benefits and limits of applying PI to this specific situation. A Cambodian field-oriented case is finally presented as a very first ongoing experiment to validate the approach and a set of insights regarding further research able to deliver concrete recommendations for both practitioners and scholars is given.

    Design of a Simulation-Based Experiment for Assessing the Relevance of the Physical Internet Concept for Humanitarian Supply Chains
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06) Grest, Manon ; Inan, Mahmut Metin ; Cohen, Yaarit M. ; Barenji, Ali ; Dahan, Mathieu ; Lauras, Matthieu ; Montreuil, Benoit
    The challenges faced in delivering relief items to victims of natural disasters and the growing external pressures urge humanitarian supply chain organizations to initiate some change. In this regard, the physical internet concept can offer a paradigm shift in relief organization and resource mobilization. To convince humanitarian actors to embrace this path, we propose a rigorous methodology leveraging a prototypical agent-oriented discrete-events simulator built within the AnyLogic platform, to conduct scientific experiments enabling to investigate the suitability and relevance of PI concepts for HSCs by systematically quantifying their benefits and drawbacks on HSC performance, sustainability, and resilience. We provide preliminary experimental results contrasting the baseline shaped by the current HSC structures, behaviors and practices, notably relative to sourcing, transporting, and warehousing, with those of hyperconnected HSCs in line with the Physical Internet at distinct degrees of maturity. In the experiment, we study past disaster scenarios that occurred in Indonesia and response efforts under different behaviors simulated with this platform. Initial results show that PI concepts are smoothly fitted to HSCs and the performance of hyperconnected HSCs is better than the current baseline.
