Goals

• Acquire a set of concepts and analytical approaches so as to understand and handle dynamics of work organisation.

• Place 'organisation' as it actually works (and not how it should) into the centre of the analysis.

• Understand the importance of social regulations in production.

• Students carry out an operator internship at the end of the first semester (S1). This internship is the opportunity to analyse (first individually then as a group) production activity and work organisation by reusing concepts seen in class.

Content

This course is divided into three sections which take place before the internship:

• Sociology on "knowledge of work activity" where the following topics will be studied:

-group action and negotiation

• Ergonomy on "work activity" highlighting:
-task and activity concepts
-individual and group regulations
-working conditions
-safety at work

• Methodology of ergonomic and sociological surveys (observation and interview)
