This department aims to nurture creative and well-rounded human resources who can lead Japan in the 21st century. Such human resources are expected to develop and dispatch new products and technologies that pursue the symbiosis of the affluence of humanity and the global environment, thereby contributing to society.
To this end, the department provides education and conducts research relative to three fields: (1) Management Information Systems, (2) Technology Management and (3) Production Systems. The Management Information Systems field focuses on the appropriate use of information based on systematic thinking. The Technology Management field involves decision making and evaluations to develop creative new products and technologies. The Production Systems field pursues environment-friendly monozukuri taking into account the global markets.

This department aims to nurture engineers and managers who can develop new products, technologies and systems through well-balanced learning in three fields: (1) Management Information Systems, (2) Technology Management and (3) Production Systems. This curriculum enables students to acquire knowledge of important fields related to management systems in preparation for their future career goals and to take a leadership role in their business. Specifically, the curriculum consists of (1) the Management System Subject Model and (2) the Information System Subject Model. The Management System Subject Model helps students become familiar with management systems and acquire the capabilities to plan, design and manage such systems from diverse social and international perspectives. The Information System Subject Model helps students become familiar with information systems and acquire the capabilities to solve the problems of organizations in an integrated way from the aspects of organization and information. Second-year students choose one of two courses of study-the Management Information Course or the Management Systems Engineering Course-according to their aptitude and choice of a future occupation. In the Management Information Course, students learn the basic knowledge and technologies of management engineering. Assuming the use of information technologies such as applications for information processing and network technologies, students learn technologies for the design and management of comprehensive management systems that cover the fields of management engineering such as production, logistics, service, environmental and risk management. The Management Systems Engineering Course aims to nurture international-level engineers, determine specific requirements for problem solutions in addition to the content of the Management Information Course and provide a choice of subjects for project management technologies for schedule optimization.

Information education subjects such as Computer Literacy and Basic Programming Language and Application and Basic Mathematics and Training are basic subjects for learning management information.
Students take these subjects in their first year, divided in three or four groups depending on each student’s course of study and achievement in the specialized field. Students who did not major in science or math can take these subjects. This class aims for the acquisition of basic knowledge, understanding information and mathematical thinking.

Through training and practice, students acquire specialized knowledge on management and control issues or information processing technologies. Training and practice are provided for students who are divided into groups according to which research department or specialized field they belong. Such training covers management optimization, the management business game, production process design and operation environment design, etc. In the human engineering class shown in the picture, they are addressing issues that aim to create designs for humans in the work environment.

Third-year students take extracurricular seminars during the first semester to obtain information on each research department and determine which research department they choose to belong to for seminars, research on specific themes and their graduation thesis. The research themes include decision-making support systems for management issues, analysis and evaluation methods for preference and satisfaction about services and products, the aging society, production systems and business process analysis and design. Empirical research on such themes helps students nurture the ability to study independently and make presentations.
