Olivier Protin, Cyril Mouchel, and Emeric Fayet work at Procter & Gamble. They shared their knowledge and experiences with third-year students at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille.
This lecture focuses on information systems in an industrial group. Procter & Gamble's testimony provides an industrial perspective on the everyday use of information systems and the link between the various players in the supply chain.
For Nathalie Klement, head of industrial organization and management courses, "P&G's presentation on information systems complements the various courses students have taken previously, such as computer science and industrial management, over the past three years. Following the planning and scheduling courses taught by campus instructors, students can see how these concepts are applied and used in a company, particularly at P&G. In the era of the industry of the future, this intervention has highlighted the communication between all elements of a company." And these courses appeal to students, such as Simon, a third-year engineering student specializing in industrial management: "We are presented with concrete examples of information transmission at Procter & Gamble, which complements the theoretical courses we have."
Other meetings with Procter & Gamble are planned throughout the year, in the form of business lunches, site visits, or participation in school events such as the Arts et Métiers forum.
