PhD Candidate - Heterogeneous Fleet Management for Resilient Intralogistics under Nominal and Exceptional Flows

POST ENVIRONMENT\n\n

School of the ministry in charge of industry, IMT Mines Albi is a school of the Institut Mines-Télécom, 1st group of engineering and management schools of France. At the forefront of industrial and academic issues on the international scene, it acts as a territorial scientific and economic engine by combining its 4 missions - to train engineers by integrating the dynamics of sustainable development, scientific research, contributing to economic development and spreading the culture of science, technology and innovation - in a virtuous and innovative cycle.

Its positioning in terms of training and research places IMT Mines Albi as a reference school on three of the four themes of the Institut Mines-Télécom: responsible future industry, energy, circular economy and society, and engineering, health and well-being.

The doctoral position is hosted by the Industrial Engineering Center of IMT Mines Albi. The center develops research on the modelling, design, control and evaluation of industrial, logistics and socio-technical systems, with a strong emphasis on decision support, performance assessment and industrial transfer.

The Ph

D will be carried out in the context of a collaborative research project with an aircraft manufacturer. It will focus on the design, comparison, dimensioning and control of intralogistics systems that combine nominal production flows with exceptional flows in an aerospace final assembly environment.

2. MAIN MISSIONS AND ACTIVITIES\n\n

Scientific positioning and research objectives

In line-side logistics, intralogistics systems are often designed and evaluated against nominal production flows associated with standard assembly schedules. In practice, a significant part of the activity is generated by late replanning, quality events, missing or misplaced items, returns, rework and other exceptional flows. These flows consume
