« Melusine » projects for the year 2019/2020

For 2019, the supply chain of the future chair has proposed 6 subjects for the “Melusine” projects to 2nd year students of the industrial engineering department of the school.

The four partners of the chair have thus followed the projects below with around twenty students from the school:

• For Renault, two different subjects, one around In-bound logistic and the other about out-bound logistic.
• For Louis Vuitton, a project around innovation in supply chain.
• For Casino group, two projects, one in Saint-Etienne, on the optimization of the shipping process, the other at CDiscount in Bordeaux around the impact of the duplication of stocks.
• For Michelin, a project on the monitoring of intercontinental flows and IO. 
   

About “Melusine” projects of the school of Ponts ParisTech

The industrial engineering department of the school of Ponts ParisTech organizes each year the module-project “Melusine” which is aimed at students in their 2nd year of engineering training.

Melusine projects are tripartite projects : Companie, School of Ponts and a group of students of the school’s industrial engineering department (3 to 4 students maximum). The Melusine projects aim to offer concrete and operational solutions to a complex industrial problem proposed by an organization (large group, start-up, SME, NGO).

Students have access to teachers and researchers, experts in the fields of supply chain, production simulation, modeling, innovation and sustainable development.

Teams work under a mandate of a company to improve a process (supply chain, sourcing, warehousing, logistics, picking, strategy, production, planning, design…).

The goal of the “Melusine” project is to enable students to acquire an operational mastery of the essential industrial engineering fields “modeling and planning of production systems, supply chain, design, project management and innovation” and to familiarize themselves with contemporary industrial issues.
