Speech Title: Industrial Engineering for Intelligent Manufacturing:Challenges, Opportunities and Trends
Abstract: Industrial Engineering (IE) originated from manufacturing industries and have played very important roles in the development of worldwide manufacturing industries in improving productivity, reducing cost, ensuring quality, and raising service level. With the emerging of Industry 4.0, we have entered the age of intelligent manufacturing, which is driven by new information and communication technologies (ICTs) and highly changing customer demands, especially that for personalized products. From angles of underlying ICTs, new manufacturing technologies, and new market environment, this talk presents the new features of intelligent manufacturing such as smart products, complex time-varying systems, intelligent production, manufacturing servitization, and customized and even personalized manufacturing. Then, it addresses key challenges to IE in multi-dimensional manufacturing resource integration, IoT based production process control, intelligent coordination of human-machine, operation management for servitized manufacturing, big data analytic based decision making, and supportive management for intelligent products, etc. Finally, this talk proposes some key trends for IE from main academic fields such as facility planning and production system design, ergonomics and human factors, production planning and control, and quality management and control.
