Objectives

The objectives of the WATMIMS Research Group are twofold:


- To Conduct Applied Research in Conjunction with Industry Partners.
Research may be partner-specific or industry-specific, but all research serves to better integrate the particular management systems involved.

- To Provide Education and Training to Practitioners and Students.
WATMIMS helps to educate and train both university students and industry personnel in the use of methods and tools for improving integrated manufacturing systems, including their logistics/supply chain interfaces.

Students have the opportunity of being associated both with applied problem solving and basic research, enhancing their potential to become industry leaders.
We hold day-long workshops and on-campus luncheon meetings for industry personnel to facilitate this objective.
