Abstract

[fre] En proposant un projet d'investissement aux responsables de l'entreprise, l'ingénieur doit présenter une étude économique dont la valeur dépend du choix des critères économiques et de la façon dont les calculs sont conduits. Il est possible de trouver un critère unique traduisant la structure de la société : la valeur actualisée du profit peut être employée dans la plupart des cas ; elle doit être complétée par une série de critères secondaires afin de tenir compte de la nature spécifique du projet. La plupart des investissements ont un double aspect de décisions séquentielles et de combinaison de variables d'état. La programmation dynamique a été appliquée avec succès à un exemple typique : l'élaboration d'un plan d'exploitation d'un gisement pétrolier. Sa principale limitation provient de la dimension de l'ordinateur utilisé et devrait pouvoir être supprimée à l'avenir. [eng] When recommending a project to his managers, the engineer has to present an economic study, the value of which lies in the choice of the economic criteria and in the way their computation is bandled. It is possible to find a single criterion reflecting the structure of the corporation. The present value profit is suitable to most cases. It must be complemented by a range of secondary criteria to account for the specific nature of the project. Most investments have a twofold aspect of sequential decisions and combination of state variables. Dynamic programming was successfully applied to a typical example : the planning of exploitation in an oil field. Its main limitation lies in the size of the available computer and should be overcome in the future.
