Industrial management research center

 

OBJECTIVES

Today, the field of industrial and logistics management is in full evolution in its content, in its limits, in its borders, in time and in space.

The research activities of EMINES - School of Industrial Management are therefore interested in the study of industrial and logistic systems and the improvement of the processes they implement.

In this broad systemic approach, a process is a set of activities, using resources, that transform incoming elements into outgoing elements. These processes can be physical (transformation of raw materials into finished products), informational (data processing to extract useful information), decision-making (collection and processing of information to make a decision).

Today, this field is in full evolution in its content, in its limits, in its borders, in time and in space. Under the combined pressure of different evolutions linked, among others, to the volatility of commodity prices, the energy mix, information technologies, the environmental dimension and the financialization of the economy, the expansion of its traditional perimeter is undergoing a change of pace.

The growth of this field questions the areas of research and organizations’ actions as well as methodologies and decision support tools equally pertinent to evaluate the relevance of these new structures and the opportunities offered by new processes of production in the broad sense or by new economic models.

The research projects of EMINES - School of Industrial Management seek to solve the new problems posed to companies in the field of industrial and logistics management.

This so-called "oriented" or "partnership" research is carried out within the framework of research contracts, industrial chairs, or expertise.

research themes

To date, EMINES- School of Industrial Management has launched research projects on the following themes:

  1. Hybrid industrial and logistics chains: research work on the harmonization between the strategic control and control of hybrid industrial and logistics chains, where the creation of value is complex.
  2. Lean mining: research work on the construction of a global approach reconciling the specificities of the extractive and primary processing sector, the dimensions of sustainable development and the basic principles of lean management.
  3. Network of African hubs: research on the principles of regional logistics hub creation in Africa.
  4. Smart urban logistics: research work on the sustainable integration of people and goods flow management in the creation of new cities in the South.
  5. Management of innovation in process industries: monitoring work on the creation of a collaborative platform on the management of innovation and technology in the process industries.
