Abstract
The lack of growth in Europe is one of the reasons behind the dire economic situation facing many European countries today. The question is how to address this situation at the same time meeting the expectations of both the general public and enterprises. European countries and enterprises have to resist the crisis and prepare for the future. They need to reorganize themselves in order to improve their performance. The research of ICAM (School of engineers) in industrial organization is destined to enterprises, public establishments and departments. It is based on GRAI Methodology, one of the three main methodologies for enterprise modeling. GRAIMOD is a software tool being developed in ICAM for supporting GRAI Methodology. The approach used is composed of the modeling of the existing system, the diagnosis, and the analysis of the obtained models for detecting inconsistencies and the design phase for improving the system. A general typology is proposed for enterprises and general public entities, then for facilitating the improvement during the design phase a reference model is proposed for each enterprise, public establishment, or department domain. The performance criteria used for improving countries and enterprises are quality (of products, system, process, supplying), cost, lead time, carbon management, social, societal, and environmental management (including energy management). According to the climate and energy package adopted in December 2008 by the European Parliament in the current context of energy transition, the department of Vendée recently passed a plan to improve energy self-sufficiency of its territories. Through modeling of consumption and potential local renewable energy production, this chapter offers several energy scenarios and assesses the efforts needed to achieve objectives. An illustration is given as an example in one of its urban communities, a territory of 30,000 inhabitants. This example is used for elaborating a reference model according to the concerned domain. The proximity of ICAM with enterprises and general public facilitates the elaboration of these different reference models and the validation of concepts elaborated.
