"The job improvement and management reforms"
Competitions between companies are continuously intensifying regardless of company size and industry type, for that reason, the importance of improvement activities and management reforms at the site are daily increasing. In a "manufacturing" industry, "manufacturing floor" is the crucial factor. That is because, it is the place where "quality" and "cost" are made through "human resources". Toyota Production System is a system that visualizes the problems of the "manufacturing floor" in order to perform a complete elimination of "wastes" and building "quality". In addition, this idea can revitalize a company and improve profitability through a company-wide "improvement" including management and indirect department. In this lecture, that overview will be introduced. |

"Example of VR application for research an ancient culture"
The application of VR in a complete transformation of the tribal cultures in various places around the world that we saw since the 20th century, and in the interaction of these cultures with today's society from the standpoint of historical engineers will be presented. The VR technology reproduced what was experienced in real life and at the same time gave an insight in the prediction of the future, and visualized the cultural and phyiscal stories made over time and space, both of which gave a positive impact on the education in humanities and social science. UC-win/Road animation which will be played during the presentation goes to show that the aforementioned is in fact true. |

"VR application for 4D construction project"
A research on the application of VR in project management, in particular
the visualization of structure and construction process will be introduced.
3D model of buildings are loaded into UC-win/Road and linked with MS project
and GIS to visualize the entire construction process from the building
of foundation to the construction of floor, walls, and ceiling. A thorough
explanation on the development of a system that provides the information
in just the right amount of detail very intuitively to project members
with different authority and knowledge such as project managers and engineers
working for a construction company. |

The 8th Design Conference Water Works Session |
|
Considering that heavy rainfall disasters are occurring frequently in the
recent years, Mr. Hideaki Yamaga of the Nihon Suiko Sekkei Co., Ltd. and
Anthony Kuch from XPSolutions Co., Ltd. will give a lecture about the application
examples of flood analysis using xpswmm. We have also invited Mr. Masaru
Morita from Shibaura Institute of Technology who is the author of "Flood
risk analysis of urban" of FORUM8 Publishing. From FORUM8, latest
functions of water works series will be introduced. |

"The latest case studies of flood simulation model xpswmm 2014"
In
the urbanized catchment, runoff analysis that takes into account the
status of the development/maintenance of drainage infrastructure is
indispensible, and without an approach based on 1D/2D integrated
modeling, accurate prediction of area likely to inundate is difficult.
Based on this, examples of analysis based on xpswmm and application
examples that uses the latest features of xpswmm 2014 will be
introduced. |

"Flood damage by torrential rains and the construction of a safe and
secure social infrastructure"
Presenter : Atsushi Nakamura
FORUM8 UC-1 Development Group 1 |
In times like today when severe weather condition and in particular torrential
rainstorms triggering inundation that is causing damage in many places
within Japan, a solid measure for National Resiliency is mandatory, hence
this along with the future tasks that we must accomplish will be the topic
of discussion. Suggestions on high performance and user friendly software
and how solutions that support the design of infrastures for drainage and
flood mitigation ought to be are welcome. |

"Analysis of flood risk in urban area : The current situation and tasks"
The entirety of the frame that quantitatively asseses the risk of flood
using a model which analyzes inundation and flood extent and another model
which calculates the predicted damage due to inundation will be presented.
The presentation will start with an explanation on the definition of the
flood risk itself, then will go into the detail such as an approach to
the quantification of the flood risk and its applications in plans for
flood control and stormwater drainage. The speech will be elaborated further
with an explanation on the application in flood risk analysis such as risk
assessment associated with urbanization and climate change. As a wrap up,
flood risk analysis itself and the risk of flood in Japan and other countries
today will be explained with the prospect of flood risk management. |

"The latest information of FORUM8's water work design software"
Isamu Okaki
FOURM8 UC-1 Development Group 1 |
| UC-win/Road for xpswmm, a tool for visualizing the results of flood analysis
and tsunami analysis within a 3D VR environment will be described in detail.
The tool is being used to establish the next generation flood hazard map
that graphically shows the flood harzards within the flood-prone area so
as to raise the awareness of the risk of potential flood. Furthermore,
a lineup of FORUM8's UC-1 Sewerage and Stormwater design software that
FORUM8 is currently planning to strengthen substantially will be described
briefly. |
