  • General Description:


    The aim is to acquire general knowledge of the fundamental issues and know-how in the field of performance optimisation of production systems of goods and services. The aspects to be developed are the comprehension of company organisation, its material flow and the capacity to manage, evaluate and optimise this organisation both from a strategic and operational point of view. The basic analytical tools and industrial process modelling are introduced. The course draws on applications for systems of product manufacturing and services. Parts of the course may be taught in English. Four modules of approx. 40 hours each are proposed. Content is not definitive and may evolve towards operational research, management, and cost accounting according to the majors, the interdisciplinary specialisations and the generic methods for engineers proposed.

    Links between course units:

    The division into 4 UP corresponds to the following pedagogical logic with the aim of describing the main challenges of production and logistics management to provide formal tools and software for modeling and analysis of these processes to define the concept of supply chain that allows a good articulation of different activities related to production (supply, distribution) to present the problems and related tools an information system supporting process management.

    The “Fundamentals of Production Management” (47.5h. coefficient 0.3) which provides the basis for the design and management of production processes with stock management, production scheduling and system maintenance.

    The “Process engineering and optimization” (37.5h. coefficient 0.25) where formal methods and tools for business process modeling and analysis are presented.

    The "Supply chain management”(31.5h. coefficient 0.2) where the issues and decision-making tools related to the design and management of the supply chain, including production systems, are presented.

    The Methods and tools for business process re-engineering and information system change management"(45h. coefficient 0.25) where information system architectures and software are presented to support industrial process management.

    Orientations / Associations with other courses:

    The major LPG as proposed can be articulated with several major and societal challenges, with the Fayol Institute or other centres as its centre of gravity.
    The targeted occupations are project manager, consultant, project manager, project manager, logistics manager or plant manager in many industrial sectors of the production of goods and services such as manufacturing, transport, energy production or the hospital sector. Here are some paths integrating industrial engineering and leading to these trades. 
    Health and Bioengineering (ex Biology and Engineering Sciences) - Health and Personalized Medicine (Technology for Health and Biomedical Progress) 
    Course oriented "global performance of companies and organizations" Management / Corporate finance - Big Data 
    Pathway oriented "global performance of companies and organizations": Management / Corporate finance - Corporate performance management 
    Course oriented "creation, innovation and design process": Mechanics - Eco-design 
    Course oriented towards "sustainable industrialisation of territories": Data science - Business performance management
