Teaching

Elective Course Period (October and January)

Course Director

Production and Logistics Systems

Course Director

The course is divided into three main sections. First, the course addresses major strategic and tactical decisions in production management: sourcing choices; capacity-related decisions; and production organization. The course then covers the principles of production planning and scheduling. Finally, the last part of the course is devoted to just-in-time approaches (kanban, etc.), quality, and supply chain management. The course is taught by faculty members from Mines Paristech, as well as by industry experts and high-level consultants.

Sustainable Logistics

Course Director

The course is divided into three main parts: First, the course examines the current structure of logistics networks, as well as the trends and environmental challenges posed by these largely essential activities. The course then explores alternative organizational models and focuses on the interconnection of logistics networks as a means of overcoming certain current conflicts. Finally, the last part of the course is devoted to examining the implications of this new approach for various aspects of logistics networks: material handling, information systems, inventory management, network design, business models, and intermediation platforms.

Production and Logistics Systems (PLS) track

Course Director

In the second year: Introduction to Production Systems and Logistics: MP14 course, November ATHENS session – S3; Hands-on exploration of production systems and logistics: a 2-week pre-track program in February consisting of lectures, presentations by experts, and themed visits (Airbus, Amazon, Carrefour, FM Logistic, General Electric, La Poste, Louis Vuitton, Pomona, Renault-Nissan…) – S4. In the third year: In-depth study of production systems and logistics: a month-long elective in October consisting of one week on planning, one week on simulation, one week on operational excellence and sustainable development, and one week of an industrial field assignment abroad (2014: Brazil; 2015: Thailand; 2016: China) – S5. Applied training in logistics assessment: 2 weeks in January alternating between applied training on the automotive industry standard Global MMOG/LE and its practical implementation at an industrial site – S6. In-depth study of the global supply chain: ES S9816, block 4D – S6. Elective Project – S6. Some representative elective topics covered in recent years: Economic and environmental assessment of the Bercy advanced logistics hub. In collaboration with SAMADA - MONOPRIX. Analysis of the ramp-up of an automotive assembly line. In collaboration with PSA. Implementation of a tool to optimize supply chain management for a car manufacturer’s European plants. In collaboration with RENAULT. Design of logistics plans for importing furniture from China. In collaboration with SAMAS. Logistics for the reconstruction of a village near Banda Aceh (Indonesia) following the tsunami. In collaboration with LAFARGE. Scheduling of advertising spots to maximize revenue and customer service. In collaboration with FRANCE TÉLÉVISION PUBLICITÉ. Improvement of urgent order processing in the jewelry sector. In collaboration with CARTIER. Analysis of vehicle import processes in Japan. In collaboration with NISSAN MOTORS. Implementation of a new logistics strategy through the management of solar products. In collaboration with L'OREAL. Simulation of performance indicators in the microprocessor industry. In collaboration with MIT and INTEL. Audit of supply chain logistics models. In collaboration with LOUIS VUITTON. Specific Features of the Track: The SPL track in the third year consists of: a period of classes and lectures (1/3 of the time), industrial visits (1/3 of the time), and a team-based logistics audit at companies (1/3 of the time). This educational progression prepares students for the elective project and the elective internship. It has the same duration as the other electives (a one-week vacation make-up in January) but runs continuously from late March to late June, which may allow for internships abroad during the third year
