More than 18 IIE members spent a wonderful afternoon discovering, experiencing and learning the work of Industrial Engineering in Hong Kong Disneyland on 9 January 2008.

Mr. Brian Yu, the manager of the Industrial Engineering division of Hong Kong Disneyland gave us a riefing on their organisations, the work style and some examples of Disney improvement using Industrial engineering.

After the briefing, Brian and his team took our members to visit a number of attractions, restaurants and shops to see how Industrial Engineering concepts can be applied to real situations. Our members were very impressed by the seamless workflow in the in-site clothing and costume service. We were also surprised by the flexible layout and planning in one restaurant which can be resized according to the demand. The visit demonstrated us a successful example of how Industrial Engineering techniques are applied in an ntertainment/leisure business.
