Over the years, there has been a steady evolution of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) research moving from traditional focus (such as Work Measurement and Management Science) towards incorporating such areas as Artificial Intelligence, Business Process Reengineering, Circular Economy Framework, Climate Change Adaptation, Human Computer Interaction, Information Technology and Data Mining, Integrated Management Systems, Lean Operations, Strategy Formulation and Performance Measurement, and Resilient Organisations and Practices). This seminar has three parts. 1) An introduction, 2) Highlights of IEM research accomplishments, and 3) Some ways forward. The First part introduces the IEM research cluster and its developments at UWI, and underlines the need and importance of the cluster and associated areas that contribute the building of the nation’s developments. The Second part is to share with some milestones and accomplishments of the IEM Research Group at UWI over the past two decades, in terms of research projects and MPhil/PhD completed, the collaboration work initiated, and the research outputs/publications generated, as well as the technical/professional conferences and seminars organised. With an extension of current IEM research profile, the Third part sets up the research agendas of future work for the Group. It looks for 1) promoting areas of collective engineering projects and business potentials of commercialisation, and 2) strengthening the research collaborations within the Department and intra-collaboration with different engineering disciplines across the Faculty.
