Cédric Nguyen
Ingénieur - Doctorant, Limos / Renault Trucks
Engineer specializing in "Optimization of Industrial Systems and Logistics" I also supplemented my studies with a MSc at Ecole Centrale Paris and an year abroad in UK (Cambridge University) and China (Zhejiang Advanced Manufacturing Institute).
Since November 2009 I am doing a Ph.D. in industrial scheduling in collaboration with the factory Renault Trucks Bourg-en-Bresse.
The issue of this study is to design and implement new decision tools and methodology for robust planning and scheduling on an flexible assembly line in an uncertain environment.
My skills mainly concern :
- Supply chain operation,
- Material and information flows management,
- Industrial systems improvement,
- Lean Manufacturing.
In the longer term I would like to steer my career to positions in Asia particularly China, where I already had the opportunity to work.
