Overview
These areas range from the conception, development and industrialization of products and related manufacturing methods, to the transformation processes of materials, to capital goods and industrial plants required, to the organization and management of processes (whether production, logistics or development of market relations), with a view to energy, economic, social and environmental sustainability, to the applied metrological aspects necessary for quality assurance, to the creation of entrepreneurial enterprises starting from product innovation and the study of the economic and regulatory context in which organizations are located.
While drawing stimulus and direction from the local economic context and its research and technology transfer needs, the Ph.D. course has an international scope, cooperating with numerous European and non-European universities, developing numerous research programs within both national and international projects.
Career Opportunities
The Ph.D. in Management and Production Engineering from Politecnico di Torino has great transversal characteristics, with occupational outlets in almost all productive sectors, in particular: the sector of manufacturing industries or service delivery, both for technological and design aspects or for aspects of organization, control and management of production processes.
Given the managerial connotation of the curriculum, another area of great interest is economics and finance, with skills and insights in this area combined with legal expertise. Banks, foundations, insurance companies, strategic and financial planning departments of large corporations, public administrations and nongovernmental entities are seen as potential job outlets. These sectors today have a great demand for innovation, prompting them to introduce highly skilled personnel with sensitivity to sustainability into their workforce.
Another sector is that of small and very small technology-intensive companies, typically spin-offs from academia or research institutions, which require very high-skilled personnel to be employed in the design, technological, economic-management and social aspects, as a driver of innovation, which constitutes the very reason to be of the company. Direct business creation actions by Ph.D. students are also part of this framework, providing an additional employment opportunity.
Programme Structure
The Ph.D. in Management and Production Engineering trains researchers capable of conducting, with scientific method and rigor, research and development activities in the technological, organizational, economic, managerial and legal fields, aimed at introducing innovation in products and production systems of goods and services, with a view to ensuring three fundamental principles:
- flexibility of the production system with respect to the competitive and institutional context in which the organization operates,
- integration of people and technology in the production system,
- social, environmental, economic and competitive sustainability of products, services and related production processes.
