To ensure their long-term competitiveness, companies must continuously improve their operational performance (safety, quality, lead times, costs, employee engagement, and environmental impact).

This has an impact on economic performance, and the extensive involvement of staff in improvement projects contributes to the development of employee fulfillment and an increase in their skills (increased employability).

The Industrial Performance Manager fits into this context and is the key player in driving performance improvement projects across the entire industrial value chain, applying the principles and techniques of Lean Management and the innovative technologies of Industry 4.0.

The Specialized Master's® in Industrial Performance Management is registered in the National Directory of Professional Certifications under number 38266.

Testimonials

"The training factory in Aix-en-Provence is one of the major assets of this program. By applying all the concepts developed during the course (lean management, change management, flow management), it provides autonomy, challenges, and theoretical points. This week was an opportunity to strengthen group cohesion by promoting team spirit." - Remi Bertrand Jean-Baptiste 

"The Lean Six Sigma-focused training program was very enriching. Led by a certified Master of Science Belt and Lean Toyota instructor, the program spanned a full week. Topics covered ranged from an introduction to Lean Six Sigma, through tools and methodologies such as DMAIC, to various simulation exercises and group applications. This dynamic learning environment allowed us to explore a concept and application of Lean that is rarely covered. Furthermore, the statistical approach equipped us with data collection and analysis skills that will undoubtedly help us in our transformation initiatives. We are therefore confident about the future of our professional projects—which are certainly ambitious." - Kamar Maxime

"One of the key benefits of the MS MPI program is that it gives us the opportunity to visit various industrial sites in different sectors, allowing us to apply the theoretical knowledge we acquire during the program to real-world situations." - Jérémie Christian-Olivier

CONTACTS

CONTACTS

This renewable energy training course makes the most of the complementary nature of different forms of renewable energy, both in relation to each other and in combination with traditional energy sources and the electricity grid. The course also covers regulations, economic performance assessment, project management, and thermal issues in buildings. The integration of renewable energies into buildings and the electricity grid, and their acceptance by society, are all conditions for their successful development. 

This renewable energy training program offers a unique balance between technical expertise and managerial skills. Thanks to a comprehensive curriculum, it provides in-depth knowledge in the design and optimization of systems using renewable sources such as photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, and geothermal energy, while taking into account thermal, economic, and societal constraints. It also trains participants to manage complex projects by integrating issues of regulation, integration into the electrical grid, and social acceptability. With a pragmatic approach rooted in industrial reality, this program prepares experts capable of advising local authorities and businesses on sustainable and economically viable energy solutions, thereby strengthening their role as key players in the energy transition.

Program

Educational objectives

• Assess economic performance and then design, in detail, a renewable energy production system in the now traditional fields of photovoltaics, hydraulics, wind power, and solar thermal energy, but also in the use of biomass or geothermal energy, combined with cogeneration, trigeneration, or energy storage systems.
• Advising as an expert:
  • local authorities and administrations in order to select and define the elements of an energy policy that promotes more sustainable development and is economically viable.
  • companies to study, under economically attractive conditions, the supply of energy from renewable sources.

Content and access times

Full-time training takes place in two phases:

From October to March:

• 400 hours of academic training with validation through written exams or report writing. The courses are divided into 5 modules:
  • Introduction to energy and review of the fundamentals of engineering science
  • Conditions for the success of renewable energy projects (energy efficiency, societal integration, integration into buildings, into the grid, etc.)
  • Solutions that produce heat and then energy
    electricity after thermodynamic conversion (solar thermal, biogas, biomass, geothermal energy)
  • Solutions that directly produce electrical energy (solar PV, wind power, hydroelectricity, H2 vector, etc.)
  • Regulations, economics, and management of renewable energy projects
• 100 hours of collaborative operational projects leading students to work in groups on real-world issues faced by companies, associations, or local authorities.

From March to September:

Professional assignment/24-week internship in a company, association, or local authority.
Based on their work and activities, interns are required to take a step back and identify an issue whose resolution will form the basis of their professional thesis, which they will write and defend.

KEY FEATURES

Excellent job placement rate after 6 months: 90% for the last 3 graduating classes.

A highly pragmatic program, accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles, which stands out for its comprehensive technological content, as well as its economic and societal focus, which aims to provide future graduates with both:
