General Description:

This UP aims to develop engineering skills in enterprise information systems and in the management of continuous improvement of information system performance. The aim is to train students in industrial and logistics management on the key components of Information Systems for management, planning and industrial and logistics management. The objective is also to train managers in technological innovation and performance improvement, capable of managing the interface with service providers working in the IT field. It is not in any way a skill in IT and even less in IT development, but a skill in managing the information systems that support industrial and logistical processes.

The objectives of the UP are therefore: 

  • Learning to use industrial information systems;
  • Understanding the value-added levers of information systems in the performance and value creation of companies
  • Learning methods to manage the joint transformation of a company's information systems and internal processes.

This competence in information systems, which is coupled with skills in industrial management and process management, is widely requested in the functions of Production Management, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Management and, of course, in the field of ERP. This skill is also relevant in the fields of information systems consultants, ERP or business performance improvement. It also trains "Organization and Information Systems Departments" in the industrial sector, in all the more administrative sectors (banks, administrations, etc.), or even in all the major structures (hospital sector, energy sector, etc.).

Key words:

Urbanization of information systems Company transformation and change management Modelling and performance simulation of process management positions
