Gra­duates of the Inte­gra­ted Pro­duc­tion and Logis­tics (PIL) pro­gramme are gene­ral engi­neers trai­ned in indus­tria­li­za­tion, pro­duc­tion and sup­ply chain mana­ge­ment, taking into account cost, qua­li­ty, lead time and envi­ron­men­tal impact constraints. PIL engi­neers are able to define manu­fac­tu­ring and assem­bly pro­cesses and rou­tines, inte­gra­ting pur­cha­sing, com­ponent sup­ply, machine avai­la­bi­li­ty and fini­shed pro­duct deli­ve­ry constraints. Such inte­gra­tion implies mas­te­ring mana­ge­ment and conti­nuous impro­ve­ment methods (total qua­li­ty, 5S, kan­ban, lean manu­fac­tu­ring, relia­bi­li­ty, pre­dic­tive main­te­nance) and auto­ma­tion and com­pu­te­ri­za­tion tech­no­lo­gies (flexible work­shops, ERP, digi­tal fac­to­ry) to manage and opti­mize the pro­duc­tion tool and sup­ply chain in manu­fac­tu­ring and pro­cess industries.

Courses

Basic trai­ning in mecha­ni­cal engi­nee­ring is com­ple­men­ted by courses in pro­duc­tion orga­ni­za­tion and mana­ge­ment, indus­tria­li­za­tion, qua­li­ty control and indus­trial relia­bi­li­ty, and sup­ply chain mana­ge­ment. In addi­tion to theo­re­ti­cal and tech­no­lo­gi­cal courses, stu­dents are offe­red pro­jects to pre­pare them for the pro­fes­sio­nal context and for team­work, using an induc­tive tea­ching approach cen­tred on real busi­ness issues.

• indus­trial orga­ni­za­tion and management,
• per­for­mance mana­ge­ment and conti­nuous improvement,
• pro­duc­tion and sup­ply chain management,
• indus­trial reliability,
• flow simu­la­tion and optimisation,
• pro­duct industrialization.

These themes are taught taking into account envi­ron­men­tal constraints and deve­lo­ping the abi­li­ty to demons­trate pro­fes­sio­nal ethics.

Pedagogical team

The pro­gram is taught by a tea­ching team that is also invol­ved in indus­trial engi­nee­ring research, in par­ti­cu­lar through col­la­bo­ra­tions with indus­trial part­ners and inter­na­tio­nal research labo­ra­to­ries (Ger­ma­ny, Cana­da, Chi­na, Ita­ly, Nor­way, Swit­zer­land, USA, etc.). Cor­po­rate players also contri­bute to the tea­ching pro­cess, either through occa­sio­nal pre­sen­ta­tions or by pro­po­sing student-led pro­jects. The program's peda­go­gy is firm­ly based on put­ting stu­dents into real-life situa­tions, through prac­ti­cal work, serious games and real-life cor­po­rate pro­jects.

Facilities and infrastructures

The soft­ware and tea­ching aids used by PIL stu­dents are main­ly tools used by the indus­trial world: for indus­trial mana­ge­ment; for conti­nuous impro­ve­ment on the shop floor (serious games for Lean Manu­fac­tu­ring); for indus­tria­li­za­tion and the digi­tal fac­to­ry (Thing­worx, 3DExperience, NCSi­mul, Esprit); for simu­la­tion and flow opti­mi­za­tion (Aré­na, SIMIO, 3DExperience).

Stu­dies car­ried out using digi­tal tools are confron­ted with indus­trial rea­li­ties through appli­ca­tion on a set of manu­fac­tu­ring, control and pro­to­ty­ping resources (manu­fac­tu­ring work­shops and metro­lo­gy services).

Internships and industrial relations

For stu­dents in ini­tial trai­ning under student sta­tus (FISE), the end-of-stu­dies pro­ject is car­ried out in an indus­trial set­ting – a 6‑month inter­n­ship – in the auto­mo­tive sec­tor (Fau­re­cia, Stel­lan­tis, Renault, Valeo), luxu­ry goods (L'Oréal, Cha­nel, LVMH, Her­mès, Car­tier), aero­nau­tics (Air­bus and Safran), pro­cess indus­try (Arce­lor Mit­tal, Saint Gobain), consu­mer goods and food indus­try (Col­gate, Pal­mo­live, Proc­ter & Gamble), logis­tics (FM Logis­tic)… This inter­n­ship can be car­ried out abroad.

International outreach

Over 60% of PIL gra­duates have spent at least one semes­ter stu­dying abroad. For stu­dents with student sta­tus (FISE), this may involve a semes­ter at UTC part­ner uni­ver­si­ties in Ger­ma­ny (Ber­lin, Braun­sch­weig), Bra­zil (Curi­ti­ba), Cana­da (Mon­treal), Fin­land (Hel­sin­ki, Lap­peen­ran­ta, Oulu), the UK (Cran­field, Glas­gow, Lough­bo­rough), the Czech Repu­blic (Brno), Swe­den (Göte­borg, Linkö­ping, Luleå) and elsew­here. They also have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to car­ry out their end-of-stu­dy inter­n­ship in an indus­trial set­ting abroad.

Professional openings

The PIL pro­gram trains indus­trial, pro­duc­tion and logis­tics engi­neers, pro­ject engi­neers and consul­ting engi­neers. PIL engi­neers find employ­ment in a wide range of sec­tors, inclu­ding manu­fac­tu­ring sec­tors (aeros­pace, auto­mo­tive, consu­mer goods, equip­ment manu­fac­tu­rers, petro­che­mi­cals, etc.), ser­vice sec­tors (dis­tri­bu­tion, trans­port and logis­tics, etc.) and soft­ware edi­tors and inte­gra­tors.
