| Explanatory text | The main research contribution of the team is to optimise and integrate design processes of products and manufacturing systems. Our approach is to develop general methods in the context of multidisciplinary application fields. These methods are inspired from industrial case studies and are often validated on site. These elements are either related to the model used for the design or to the temporal aspect of the design process. Two research axis are developed : a transversal approach, related to the organisation, the cooperation of skills of the actors of the design, and a vertical approach, related to the developments of techniques for a particular field of expertise.
