Description

Today's markets are characterized by great product diversity and product customization. Demand is volatile and uncertain. In addition, product life cycles are shortened and production and delivery times acceptable to customers are increasingly short. Therefore, today's businesses need to deploy flexible production systems, robust supply chains, and agile planning processes. In this context, current analytical tools are starting to reach their limit. Nevertheless, technologies evolve and offer interesting prospects. We refer, in particular, to Industry 4.0 technologies and advances in artificial intelligence and data science.

In the perimeter of this Chair, we are developing innovative decision-support tools for the planning and management of production systems and the supply chains, by coupling optimization and simulation with artificial intelligence techniques. This approach should allow a higher efficiency and have (self) -adaptive solutions, in particular in the case of a dynamic or uncertain environment and when the problems are not well defined.
