Toulouse Business School
Supply Chain Management is concerned with the global management of physical and information flows for the elaboration of products, going from raw materials and suppliers through the production and distribution system down to the ultimate customers. Lean Management deals with the continual removal of wastes in processes, with the aim of making them more efficient and responsive, thereby increasing the firm’s competitiveness. In the globalized and complex world of today, a necessary and enough condition for achieving a high level of competitiveness is by training managers to be multi-competent. This is the reason why this Master program is designed around three disciplines: Supply Chain Management, Lean Management, and Project Management. It also adopts a professional approach by incorporating four international professional certificates.
The MILES program trains young managers who want to acquire specialized and in-depth skills in Supply Chain and Lean Management to be able to manage projects, value-creation and change in a performance-driven business or research environment from a global and international perspective.
This International Master, 100 % in English, is proposed in partnership with Toulouse Business School. This is a two-year full-time program divided into four semesters: courses over 3 semesters followed by a Master Thesis semester (possibly in the context of an internship). This program is accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
90% of the classes will be held on Toulouse Business School campus. About 10% of the classes will be held on the IMT Mines Albi campus, located in Albi, a city 80 kilometers from Toulouse. Commuting between the two cities is simple and will be taken care of by the schools. The city of Albi is proud to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
