Applicative Systems
The research themes and actions of the DISP laboratory can be applied on complex and very diverse applicative systems, with always a critical vision on their technical, structural, organisational and human-based dimensions simultaneously.
Some examples of collaboration with the socio-economic world are available here.

industrial SYSTEMS
With the digital transformation and technological developments in the Industry 4.0 era, there is no longer a boundary between the physical world and the virtual world. The company has become connected (internally within its production system and externally with the actors of the value chain) and its offer integrates both products and services. In this axis, we are interested in organisations allowing to design, industrialise, produce, deliver, maintain and recycle the offer of products and associated services. The objective of our work is to improve the performance of these organisations and to better support people in the decision-making process.
The main sector challenges we tackle are:
- Flexible, responsive and resilient supply chains
- Ecological transition: Development of clean value chains (remanufacturing, reverse logistics, zero-defect manufacturing without machine downtime, predictive maintenance, etc.)
- Digital transition: Generalise interconnectivity (within the production system, and between the production system and the other actors in the value chain);
- A knowledge economy where the exploitation of big data becomes a common management tool

SERVICES
The axis is part of the application in what is called service, that is to say all forms of applications without transformation of material. The intangibility, the non-storable nature of the product, the flexibility and the significant variability of the service are characteristics that raise important scientific gaps.
Service offer systems highlight three characteristics: labour intensity, customer contact, and service personalisation. Although the "product" is intangible, it can be measurable. By nature, services involve a much higher degree of customer contact than manufacturing.
The issues of service-type applications address two contradictory aspects to be balanced: standardisation allowing a service to be set up and provided in a short time, and flexibility allowing to respond to the variability of a service. In order to standardise and make the management of services and the sharing of data more efficient, the use of standardised and automated tools and methods is put forward.

HEALTH SYSTEMS
This axis develops tools and methods for the engineering of care production systems. We are particularly interested in the monitoring and management of care pathways, the problems of logistics of goods and people, the personalisation of care offers and services, the organisation and stratification of care activities.
The scope of study encompasses 3 sectors with complementary issues:
- The health sector in hospitals
- The health sector "outside the walls": City medicine / Hospitalisation at home / Nursing care at home
- The medico-social sector
The main issue of the sector relates to the efficiency of the means mobilised to achieve the objectives of quality and equity in care. To this end, the laboratory mobilises skills in optimisation, modelling and analysis of data and processes, configuration and implementation of information systems.
