Design of a Simulation-Based Experiment for Assessing the Relevance of the Physical Internet Concept for Humanitarian Supply Chains

Résumé

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.
