On the Aix-en-Provence campus, the Dynéo training factory supports industry in meeting new challengesby promoting the deployment of operational excellence methods, with the aim of sustainably strengthening industrial performance and thereby developing employment and attractiveness in the region.
A look back at more than seven years of learning and putting theory into practice.
IoT, Cloud, big data analytics, AI, digital twins, autonomous robots... Industry 4.0 technologies offer opportunities and promise to improve, or even completely transform, the way industrial systems are managed in the future.
This requires the development of new technical, organizational, managerial, and cultural skills, which companies must train their teams in order to meet this challenge.
This is the challenge that DynEO has been tackling through training since 2013. DynEO, notably under the impetus of the industrial company STMicroelectronics.
Being able to deploy effective and ambitious training systems is becoming more than ever a competitive challenge for everyone explains Frédéric Rosin, head of the DynEO training factory on campus.
Innovative teaching in Lean & Operational Excellence
Today, the DynEO training factory has four objectives:
- improve business competitiveness by implementing Operational Excellence practices
- Strengthen SMEs/SMIs by facilitating access to and implementation of best practices in continuous improvement and developing a culture of Operational Excellence
- bring together major contractors and subcontractors from the same industry around a common industrial culture
- mobilize higher education and industry to innovate together
Learning by Doing: learning through practical application
The training factory allows trainees to experience the introduction of changes within the company. To fully integrate what they have learned, trainees are invited to put themselves in a real-life situation by producing a real product in an industrial environment, where systems are beginning to be integrated to assist with analyzing work situations, decision-making, flow management, and problem-solving in relation to the new challenges of Industry 4.0.
A broad scope of training at the heart of Industry 4.0
The training courses offered cover several areas:
- Lean management (industrial production environment),
- Lean office (office environment and service activities),
- more recently,Lean R&D (to make project management more efficient),
- Under development: Lean 4.0 training, at the heart of the industry of the future.
New equipment has been purchased or is in the process of being acquired.
Examples include "eye trackers" for analyzing and improving work situations (workstation ergonomics, adapted and scalable work standards, detection/anticipation of risky situations, etc.), a digital Andon coupled with an intelligent assistant and a real-time simulation system for problem detection and resolution, augmented/projected reality devices enabling operators to interact with information projected onto their workstations, IoT for production flow monitoring, an autonomous robot for workstation supply, digital dashboards to improve real-time management, etc..

The training factory in figures
- 1,400 industrial workers trained (employees in the microelectronics sector with ST Microelectronics, aeronautics with Airbus, SMEs/SMIs (cluster of 60 aerospace companies) or other sectors (Pellenc, Pernod-Ricard, etc.), representing more than 80 companies.
- 1,900 students trained (Arts et Métiers and FIP, Ecole Centrale Marseille, IAE-AMU),
- More than 12 professionals trained to supervise interns and students.
