The faculty members consist of experts in automobile research from Kyushu University as well as from private and public car sector leaders, including the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Universities including Fukuoka Women’s University, Seinan Gakuin University, Fukuoka University, and Kobe University also contribute faculty members. The department is also conducting cutting-edge research to create a future mobility society such as autonomous driving, vehicle electrification, and advanced supply chain management using IoT technology.
Student’s Voice
- What is your research about?
- I used to work as a Production Engineer in the Automobile Industry. My work made me interested in how the logistics of the company worked and how to improve it. That is why I got into Supply Chain Management and how to use technologies in IoT, more specifically RFID. The main goal is to see how the inventory levels and KPIs of a company can improve by introducing such technologies. Using simulations was a good way to also help understand what factors to consider for the inventory levels and to test different conditions that cannot be replicated quite easily in a different environment or company.
- What is an advantage of Kyushu University?
- I got in Kyushu University through the MEXT scholarship, which was a huge opportunity that made it possible for me to study abroad without worrying about my livelihood. Additionally, studying Japanese in Kyushu University improved my Japanese tremendously and also allowed me to make friends with a lot of people from different countries and cultures. These friendships and relations will surely accompany me for the rest of my life.
