In this paper, we analyse the multiobjective problem generated by applying a goal programming approach to deal with linear assignment type problem. We specify sufficient conditions for a solution to be efficient for this problem. The notion of efficiency with respect to a neighborhood is also introduced and characterized through sufficient conditions. Unfortunately, these conditions are not necessary in general.

To establish production plans or replenishment plans, firms use forecasting systems. Such a system is composed of a forecasting method and a lot-sizing method. We propose a scheme to evaluate the reliability of such a system. This evaluation is based on the impact of demand randomness on the long run total cost. The scheme is illustrated with a system including an exponential smoothing technique for the demand forcasting and the Florian and Klein [5] method for the lot-sizing. Simulation results...

Pour établir des plans de production et d'approvisionnements, une entreprise utilise un système de prévisions. Celui-ci est constitué d'une méthode de prévision de la demande et d'une méthode de lot-sizing permettant l'obtention de plans prévisionnels. Nous proposons une démarche permettant d'évaluer la fiabilité des prévisions fournies par un tel système. Cette analyse se base sur l'étude de l'impact des aléas de la demande sur les coûts induits par les plans prévisionnels. Nous avons appliqué...
