Outline and objectives

After World War II, Japan has led the world in all aspects of production and supply chain management, including design, purchasing, manufacturing, transportation, and delivery methods. Today, however, Japan is facing a serious stagnation in innovation. This course will focus on how to recognize and overcome this stagnation in innovation by focusing on raw material and manufacturing costs of various products, with lectures by guest speakers with expertise in the automotive, hydrogen, and semiconductor industries. The objective of this course is not to learn academic theory, but to develop practical skills, especially in cost calculation, necessary for business.

Goal

In addition to general knowledge of production management and supply chain management, students will acquire critical thinking based on cost engineering and behavioral economics, recognize stagnation of innovation in the real world, and formulate original hypotheses and countermeasures to overcome it.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain“DP1”,“DP2”and“DP4”.
