The Industrial Engineering Center at IMT Mines Albi focuses its research on the development of methods and tools for decision support in heterogeneous, collaborative and uncertain contexts, giving increasing importance to Artificial Intelligence as a major instrument of its contributions in recent years.

THE SPECIFICS OF THE CENTRE

The Centre Génie Industriel (CGI), created in 1996, is one of IMT Mines Albi's three training and research centers. Didier Gourc is acting director of the Centre Génie Industriel. The work carried out within the CGI has confirmed the existence of strong scientific and technical expertise at the crossroads of the fields of Industrial Engineering, IT and even management sciences.

CGI researchers and engineers mobilize and enrich the following 8 areas of scientific and technical expertise to carry out research or training projects: Systems Engineering, Model Engineering, Decision Theory, Operations Research, Immersive Technologies, Generative AI, Symbolic AI and Connectionist AI. These scientific and technical expertises are considered as toolboxes that can be mobilized according to needs.

CGI researchers and engineers particularly exploit and contribute to the following scientific paradigms to carry out research or training projects:

• the Physical Internet,
• the Physics of Decisions,
• Digital Organizational Twins.

 

The CGI's raison d'être: “To support the transition of ecosystems by enabling responsible, sustainable decision-making in unstable or disrupted environments”.

The Industrial Engineering Center at IMT Mines Albi strongly correlates its work with the business world, and is committed to providing companies with highly mature, operationally usable solutions. As the field matures, the issues addressed can be found in services (transport, maintenance, energy renovation, IT services...) or in organizations (humanitarian crises, home hospitalization...), and the methods and approaches developed in manufacturing can in part be transposed to them.

The Industrial Engineering Center is structured around 4 areas of applied research:

• Engineering and management of the production and distribution of goods (FLOWS);
• Engineering and management of crises and major critical phenomena (DiSCS);
• Engineering and management of the production and distribution of health and well-being services (WHOPS);
• Engineering and management of spaces and territories (TRACE).
