The Japan Institute of Industrial Engineering
The Japan Institute of Industrial Engineering (JIIE) was established in 1959 in order to facilitate sound development of Industrial Engineering (IE) and improvement of corporate productivity in Japan.
The Institute has been helping member corporations to improve the productivity and modernize management through steady activities such as educational, training programs and research based on industrial-educational cooperation related to industrial engineering.
Industrial Engineering in Japan has been developed mainly in production sectors.
However, as business background changes, the Institute aims to expand the scope of industrial engineering activities to cover all aspect of industrial functions from whole process of production to management level. The Institute has been developing its activities with all out efforts to involve every industry including construction, transportation and tertiary industries as well as manufacturing industries.
The membership of the Institute numbers nearly 300 Corporations and 700 Engineers.
