HKIE MIS INDUSTRY AWARD 2023
Encouraging Manufacturing, Industrial and Systems (MIS) engineering stakeholders to better understand the practical applications of the MIS Engineering in the industry is one of the missions of MIS Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE). Over the years, MIS Division has organized various activities for the engineering industries such as project competitions, technical visits, seminars and symposiums.
In this year, we are going to run the HKIE MIS Industry Award 2023 with the aim to recognize the excellent achievements of relevant industries in Hong Kong in enhancing their manufacturing productivity, product quality and innovation in real industrial context.
Three Award Categories
Smart Manufacturing Award
New industrialisation Award
Innovation Award
Judgement criteria
Assessment is based on the submissions whether they match with the particular award criteria and demonstrate their evolution of MIS project from pain point analysis, in-depth improvement processes, challenges and difficulties of implementation; significant achievements and impacts to other manufacturing industries.
For details, please read the following judgement criteria in each award category:
