A Dynamic Risk Management in Chemical Substances Warehouses by an Interaction Network Approach
Omar Gaci, Herv Mathieu · InTech eBooks · 2012
We propose to study activities of storages in a warehouse of chemical substances. Then, this warehouse is subject to restriction in business processes executed every day: operators must respect a segregation strategy which consists in avoiding any mixing of incompatible chemicals. To reproduce the actions of forklift operators, we propose a Multi-Agent System which is the support of CAS modelling. Then, during agent movements for handling pallets from their reception into their storage locations, we define a dynamic graphwhere the vertices represent agents in activities and edges measure the distance between agents. The study of this dynamic graph shows that the average mean distance remains weak meaning that agent are often close each other. From this observation, we deduce a strategy for a dynamic risk management that gives the priority to agents whose betweenness is superior to the other agents that handle pallets of incompatible chemicals.
