Engineering students study industrial management

Campus

Arts et Métiers Campus Arts et Métiers Lille 

8 Boulevard Louis XIV - 59046 Lille Cedex

Objectives

This expertise aims to train engineers capable of planning and managing complex systems characterized by strong interaction between technological, organizational, financial, and human variables.

Industrial management engineers will have an integrated view of industrial and manufacturing realities, enabling them to work in technology and business management in a competitive and constantly changing environment. They will have a set of skills based on quantitative methods that will enable them to model, analyze, and solve interdisciplinary, organizational, and economic technological problems, as well as communicate their findings.

Engineers will be made aware of the transition to the industry of the future , which affects all areas of production.

 

SPECIFICITY – 2 possible courses of study – PROFESSIONAL TRAINING CONTRACT and STUDENT status

This training can be carried out:

  • in the form of a 12-month professional training contract.During this period, the learner is therefore employed by a company (at a minimum of 80% of the minimum wage) and alternates between periods at the School and in the company (on average, 2 days in the company + 3 days at the School per week in S9, then full-time in the company in S10).
  • as a student

Program

Module M1: Financial Management

The success of a company's activities requires a mastery of economic and accounting information so that it can be used in financial and operational decision-making. Decision-making on investment projects requires an analysis of their economic and financial viability.

This module will cover the following points:

  • Financial accounting
  • Cost analysis of the product, process, or activities
  • Investment project: planning, budget, and financing

Module M2: Production Support Functions

Support functions provide assistance to industrial activities. Their objectives are to improve and optimize manufacturing. They mainly concern industrialization, quality management, and facility maintenance.

This module will cover the following points:

  • Improvement of industrialization and adaptation of production equipment: Continuous improvement .
  • Implementation of the quality approach, monitoring and control of quality indicators
  • Process maintenance plan, processes, and maintenance activity management

Module M3: Decision Support Methods

Industrial challenges are becoming increasingly complex, leading organizations to rely on mathematical analyses and tools to make decisions that were previously largely basedon on the manager's intuition. Decision support tools provide relevant answers to production issues involving several possible choices and facilitate strategic or operational decision-making in imprecise and/or uncertain environments.

This module will cover the following points:

  • Operational research for the management of complex systems
  • Production flow modeling and simulation
  • Cross-functional technologies
