The Master of Science in Engineering IEOR trains executives and future researchers capable of leveraging advanced methods in industrial engineering and operations research to design, manage, and optimize the performance of complex organizations: production systems, supply chains, services, and healthcare organizations.

Thanks to a dual expertise in modeling + decision support, graduates integrate into sectors where digitalization (data/AI, digital twins, automation, micro-/nano-fabrication, PLM/ICT) is rapidly transforming operations and logistics.

Industry Sectors

Graduates of the Master of Science in Engineering IEOR work in a wide range of fields, including:

  • Manufacturing Industry (industry of the future, production, quality, performance)
  • Supply Chain & Logistics (distribution, transportation, upstream/downstream logistics)
  • Microelectronics / Advanced Manufacturing (complex processes, management of production systems)
  • Healthcare and Hospital Systems (care organization, patient flow, resources, performance)
  • Pharmaceuticals (planning, scheduling, flow control)
  • Industrial Services (maintenance, reliability, equipment availability)
  • Consulting (operational transformation, optimization, performance, supply chain)
  • R&D (research centers, laboratories, innovation in methods and tools)

These sectors share performance challenges related to cost – quality – lead time – reliability, with a growing need for optimization and simulation tools to make faster and better decisions.


Accessible Professions

Upon completion of the Master of Science in Engineering IEOR, graduates can hold positions such as:

  • Operations Research (OR) Engineer / Analyst
    (optimization, decision models, scenarios, robustness)
  • Industrialization Engineer / Continuous Improvement / Industrial Performance Engineer
    (Lean + quantitative tools, indicator-based management, process redesign)
  • Planning / Scheduling Engineer
    (capacities, constraints, lead times, multi-site synchronization)
  • Supply Chain Engineer / Logistics Engineer
    (sizing, inventory strategy, transportation, logistics network)
  • Simulation Engineer / Digital Twin Systems Engineer
    (performance evaluation, flow simulation, decision support)
  • Operations Manager / Production-Logistics Manager (early career, depending on experience)
    (operational management, process transformation, coordination)
  • Consultant in Operations Optimization and Transformation
  • R&D Engineer / Research Engineer in industrial engineering, optimization, systems

PhD and Research

The Master of Science in Engineering IEOR develops skills in applied research (bibliographic study, conferences, research internship), making it a natural path towards:

  • a PhD in industrial engineering / operations research,
  • R&D topics in collaboration with industry (depending on opportunities),
  • or a career as a research engineer.

Two Tracks, Two Career Paths

  • GISIS (Healthcare or Industry of the Future): ideal if you wish to maintain broad options and work in both industry and healthcare (organization, flows, performance, data).
  • MAGIF (Industry of the Future): targeted for a career start specifically in industry, production, supply chain, performance, and decision-making.

A Differentiating and Sustainable Profile

The Master of Science in Engineering IEOR trains profiles capable of:

  • gaining perspective (modeling a system before acting),
  • transitioning from field needs to an actionable model (optimization/simulation),
  • making rigorous trade-offs (cost/quality/lead time/reliability/impact),
  • and supporting complex transformations in multi-stakeholder environments.

This is a major asset for high-impact careers in industry, logistics, healthcare, consulting, and R&D, both in France and internationally.

❗️ Applications are open from January to April.
