Risk information formalisation with graphs

The logistics is an essential economic activity that is intended to manage the physical and data flows (informative, customs and financial), in order to provide the resources corresponding to more or less determined needs in compliance with the specified economic and legal conditions (subject to the quality-of-service targets and the security and safety conditions are satisfactory). The links between formalized information, risk management in production logistics and adaptation to technological and market changes, are essential to industrial companies. In this paper, we have followed a structured approach, keeping within a formal risk management framework, for continually improving production logistics practices and procedures by experience feedback processes. The information derived from the risk assessment in production logistics is formalized by the conceptual graphs, permitting to ease the logical expressions and enhance the semantic quality of visual representation produced. The proposal is illustrated more clearly by a concrete case study of the production logistics adopted for aircraft manufacturing in an European Aeronautic Company.
