L’ethnographie est née de l’association de deux mots : ethnos, qui signifie groupe culturel en grec, et graph, qui signifie écriture. John van Maanen a décrit l’ethnographie comme des « récits de terrain ». L’ethnographie en général est consacrée à la description des modes de vie de l’humanité. L’ethnographie organisationnelle est une description socio-scientifique d’un groupe de personnes interagissant ensemble pendant un certain temps au sein d’organisations, qu’elles soient formelles ou informelles.

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.
