SMART AND CONNECTED ENTERPRISEThe aim of this track is to introduce the new paradigms of enterprise management based on new information environments and systems, including cyber-physical systems. At the end, the students should be able to model an enterprise, to simulate and optimize its performances, to model and develop solutions for interoperability between information systems, based on ontologies and multi-view models at different scales (shop floor, factory, company, extended enterprise). New technologies like IoT, smart and agile organizations, etc., and interaction technologies, like virtual and augmented reality, will be integrated in the courses. The place of humans in new smart organizations will also be considered. There will be a strong link with the other track.

AGILE FACTORY MANAGEMENTThis track aims to develop particular competencies dedicated to agile and reconfigurable factory management. Fundamental approaches for factory design and simulation will be introduced as well as performance assessment. At the end, the students should be able to model and simulate production systems, to optimize production systems control strategies and to apply new assessment methods based simulation and optimization approaches, taking into consideration different kinds of indicators (environmental, social, economical) related to agile factory. There will be a strong link with the other track.
