ISLI students work on real-life cases
Since mid-October, ISLI MSc students have been working in groups on an actual Supply Chain Management project, drawing on the expertise of KEDGE's Centre of Excellence (CESIT). Tutors from the faculty and the Centre of Excellence presented 9 assignments on which the students were placed in teams of 4 to 5.
The first few weeks of work are dedicated to the analysis of the existing situation, followed by the diagnosis. After that, groups develop possible solutions to meet the company's objectives in a variety of areas: reusable packaging, tire supply chain, distribution network optimization, etc., with the help of renowned companies such as Airbus, Kepler, and Lectra.
Throughout the year, they will have 3 oral presentations and a written report to deliver. Their solutions will eventually be submitted to the companies' steering committees, for assessment of the project's suitability in relation to the given issues and constraints.
Objective of the course
- Make each student a player in the company
- Develop an expertise on an innovative Supply Chain subject and/or in relation with current events

- Analyse a company's supply chain by understanding its goals and/or the objectives of the research in terms of added value, collaboration with external actors and stakes
