However, demand forecasting is certainly not an easy task for a manager who had the choice between using traditional forecasting techniques encompassing time series methods, causal methods or simulation methods, or techniques based on artificial intelligence like artificial neural networks (ANNs), fuzzy logic or adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This paper focuses on the implementation and configuration of the artificial intelligence of neural networks, and more precisely the multi layer perceptron{\textquoteright}s structure, as a prediction system to produce daily demand forecasts based on historical demand information. The results indicate that adding new inputs to the neural network, in our case study, has a positive impact on the accuracy of the short term demand forecasting. In the numerical experimentation, the effectiveness of the proposed model is validated using is validated using a real-world data of a leader supermarket in Morocco.}, isbn = {978-1-4673-8571-8}, author = {Slimani, Ilham and El Farissi, Ilhame and Achchab, Said}, editor = {Alaoui, AE and Benadada, Y and Boukachour, J} } @conference { ISI:000346582400026, title = {Game theory to control logistic costs in a two-echelon supply chain}, booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF 2014 2ND IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LOGISTICS AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT (GOL 2014)}, year = {2014}, note = {2nd IEEE International Conference on Logistics Operations Management (GOL), Rabat, MOROCCO, JUN 05-07, 2014}, pages = {168-171}, publisher = {IEEE; Mohammed VI Souissi Univ, ENSIAS Sch; Univ Le Havre; Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah Univ, FST}, organization = {IEEE; Mohammed VI Souissi Univ, ENSIAS Sch; Univ Le Havre; Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah Univ, FST}, abstract = {As a mathematical tool of the decision maker, game theory is an essential methodology to analyze and solve situations where the decision of each rational agent, called player, affects the other agent{\textquoteright}s payoff. Indeed, in this work game theory is used to analyze an inventory and transportation optimization problem within a supply chain composed of two agents: a retailer who faces a random demand of a final product and his supplier of raw materials that is also responsible of the transportation function. Since the retailer is closer to the market and has a better view of demand forecasts careful attention given to Information sharing and its impacts.}, isbn = {978-1-4799-4650-1}, author = {Slimani, Ilham and Achchab, Said}, editor = {Benadada, Y} } @conference { ISI:000326538300127, title = {Sharing demand forecasts in a basic supply chain using game theory}, booktitle = {2013 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MODELING, SIMULATION AND APPLIED OPTIMIZATION (ICMSAO)}, year = {2013}, note = {5th International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO), Hammamet, TUNISIA, APR 28-30, 2013}, abstract = {Supply chain can be defined as a set of distributed entities composed of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers and costumers. Supply chain management (SCM) is the supervision of its three flows: the finances flow, the materials flow and the information flow. Indeed, this paper focuses on the information flow, more precisely on sharing information within a one echelon supply chain. It examines a game theory approach applied on a basic supply chain composed of three entities called players: a retailer, a distributor and a supplier with probabilistic demand. Each player is rational: tries to maximize his profit, and consequently tries to find a local optimum; this situation leads to a loss of performance of the whole chain. The goal of our work is to optimize both inventory and transportation costs by using the concept of Game Theory.}, isbn = {978-1-4673-5814-9; 978-1-4673-5812-5}, author = {Slimani, Ilham and Achchab, Said} }
