恭喜！宗福季教授中选APIEMS会士

Industrial engineering was sprouted from major engineering disciplines that called for better professional understanding of industrialization. Ever since, our discipline has been the star role player in confronting emerging industries; be it manufacturing, service, high tech products, outer space technology, information technology, industrial policy, ergonomics, and now world’s greatest concern, sustainable development. The Core value of APIEMS is associating and exchanging the better industrial engineering education, researches, and exchange information from different countries and regions.

APIEMS的前身是1998年在我国北京举行的中日工业工程与办理联合会议和在韩国泰城举行的韩日工业工程与办理联合会议。这两个产出了优秀效果的会议于1999年合二为一，即于日本金泽举行的第二届APIEMS会议。从那时起，APIEMS敏捷成为亚太国家和地区（即澳大利亚、我国大陆、香港、印度尼西亚、日本、马来西亚、菲律宾、韩国、台湾和泰国）专业人士沟通工业工程和办理社会范畴最新开展的重要论坛。APIEMS会议不仅是一个沟通思想和信息的论坛，并且还促进了来自不同国家、文明和安排的参会者之间的协作，并为新研讨和发现的效果供给了展现时机。

APIEMS initiated from two conferences held in 1998, China-Japan Joint Conference on industrial engineering and management in Beijing, China, and Korea-Japan Joint Conference on industrial engineering and management in Taejon, Korea, produced some excellent results and the two were merged to form a single conference in the following year 1999, when the 2nd APIEMS conference was held at Kanazawa, Japan. Since then, the APIEMS has rapidly emerged as an important forum for exchange of ideas and information about latest developments in the field of industrial engineering and management society among professionals from Asia-Pacific countries and regions, namely, Australia, The Chinese Mainland , Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. APIEMS conferences serve not only as a forum for exchanging idea and information but also facilitates collaborations among delegates and participants from different countries, culture and institutions, besides providing the much needed exposure to new research efforts and findings.
