Structure

The PLASSMAT platform is an entity within IMN. Its governance is ensured jointly by IMN’s management and the platform’s steering committee.

PLASSMAT is structured in the form of an Operational Committee (CoOp) and a Steering Committee (CoPil):

The mission of the CoOp is to have a global vision of the shared facilities (assessment of equipment activities, reporting of needs, assessment of repairs, etc.).
The CoPil is responsible for comparing needs and resources, in order to decide on the funding strategy, and for PLASSMAT’s governance together with the Management Board.

On a day-to-day basis, the platform is coordinated by a coordinating team of two people (a RAP and a management representative), appointed by management and validated by the PLASSMAT Operational Committee.
