Mission
The Laboratory for Production Management and Processes (LGPP) contributes to- the reinforcement of a scientific approach,- the improvement of fundamental understanding,- the development of new concepts, methodologies, processes and tools related to the design and operations of value adding networks.The multidisciplinary approach of the LGPP takes simultaneously into account the human, technological and organizational aspects as a fundamental guideline. The main research fields are: - Concepts, methodologies and tools for the management of material and information flows- Modelling, simulation and optimisation of value adding networks in uncertain environments- Generative processes based on selective laser sintering- Modelling, simulation and optimisation of generative production processes.
Current work
Current work is related to studying the process of human decision-making and its role in operations and Supply Chain management. In particular, the research focuses on the modeling of these decisions with the aim of integrating human influence in simulation tools. The role of trust and power on the dynamic behavior and performances of supply chains constitutes a further research axis.
REMY GLARDON is Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne. He is the founder and director of the Laboratory for Production Management and Processes. He owns a Master in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Materials Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne. After his graduate study at EPFL, he spent several years as a postdoc at UC-Berkeley where he published several research papers on the mechanical behavior and wear of materials. He then moved to industry and occupied several management positions in production, logistics and operations management. Before joining EPFL in Sept. 1995 to found the Laboratory for Production Management & Processes, he was Operations Manager and member of the board of an international high tech. company. His main research interests are currently related to the design, configuration and strategic, tactical & operational management of value adding networks. His research activities concern more specifically, the integration of human aspects in the modeling & simulation of these complex systems. Rémy Glardon has initiated and completed several research and consulting projects with private companies in these areas, aiming at improving the cost/performance ratio in operations management. He is also co-founder of two start-up consulting enterprises in the field of supply chain and operations management.
