Robotic warehouses have transformed logistics, prioritizing speed and efficiency. However, traditional static priority systems often leave low-priority customers facing excessive delays, raising concerns about fairness. This research, based on Invia, a robotic warehouse company, proposes a dynamic priority allocation model to balance efficiency and fairness. By adjusting order priorities over time, this approach ensures that both high-priority and long-waiting low-priority orders receive timely fulfillment. Through stochastic modeling and simulations, we demonstrate that dynamic prioritization reduces delays compared to static and first-come, first-served (FCFS) models. Case studies in e-commerce and healthcare logistics illustrate the broader impact of fairness in automation. As industries increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making, the balance between efficiency and equity becomes critical. This research challenges the assumption that robotic warehouses should optimize for speed alone and advocates for a future where fairness plays a central role in automated commerce.

Le managérialisme est l’accaparement du pouvoir par les managers, aux dépends des autres parties prenantes d’une organisation. Il se développe sur un affaiblissement de l’autorité professionnelle de ceux qui réalisent la mission de leur entreprise ou de leur administration, remplacée par le pouvoir de celui qui croit savoir et qui décide de tout en conséquence. Les managérialistes ont pour mission de fixer les objectifs collectifs et de décider des moyens à utiliser pour atteindre ces objectifs. Résister au managérialisme, c’est donc restaurer l’autorité de celui qui est capable d’expliquer, de justifier le pourquoi et le comment de ce qu’il fait ou propose de faire.
