Profile | My area of expertise is Industrial Engineering, in particular the improvement and design of factory layouts and production processes. A production system is a system that integrates people, products, money, and information. The scope of the design and operation of these production systems is expanding as globalization progresses. In addition, the speed of change has greatly increased due to advances in ICT technology. I am working on the development of methodology for designing and improving production systems corresponding to this. What I place particular emphasis on is knowing what is actually happening in the field. As analysis technology becomes more sophisticated, it is easy to fall into modeling to solve problems, and it is often seen that there is a gap between the solution of real problems and the solution of problems. In order to avoid this, I place importance on always incorporating the latest on-site information. I am also focusing on developing educational programs to spread industrial engineering. The reality is that small and medium-sized enterprises do not have a system in place to conduct IE education on their own. On the other hand, companies tend to rely on their own methodologies. We organize them and develop educational programs that contribute to improving the improvement capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises. |
