Management and tools for sustainable development

MODD (Management et Outils du Développement Durable - Management and Tools for Sustainable Development) brings together a series of courses on sustainable development, a concept that plays a key role in the strategy of any company. These courses enable students to learn how to manage certain issues associated with preserving the environment, quality and the safety of goods and people, based on the concepts of management systems and more specific techniques.
MODD 1 contains 3 modules.

Part 1 (8h lecture): Sustainable development and technological issues
The first lesson introduces students to the concept of sustainable development. At the end of this lesson, students will be able to assess the relevance of this concept and its applications in the socio-economic world. They will be able to integrate a related approach into the management of different types of projects and within the framework of an engineering mission.

Part 2 (5h33 Lesson): Management of QSE issues
All engineers, in their missions as supervisors or even managers, use a management system formalized according to regulatory and/or standardized requirements. They need to understand its meaning and use. They must also understand the role and impact of regulations on their activities and objectives. This applies to product and service quality, environmental management and preservation, and the maintenance of personal hygiene, health and safety. This module covers the following concepts:

The role and purpose of regulations, regulatory monitoring and compliance,
The principle of hazard identification and risk assessment (FMEA-type approaches),
Legal control of environmental risks, Legal control of hygiene, health and safety risks in the workplace, Legal control of safety risks in the use or consumption of the product/service.
