The final was held in the cloud (online) on September 24th under the influence of the epidemic.

Director of Shanghai Society of Mechanical Engineering, Executive Vice Chairman and Secretary General of Industrial Engineering Committee of Shanghai Society of Mechanical Engineering, Professor Ye Chunming of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology presided over the opening ceremony. Professor Zhang Zheng, Vice Dean of the Business School , Vice Chairman of the Steering Committee for Industrial Engineering Teaching in Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education, National Famous Teacher, Professor Wang Jinfeng of Shanghai Maritime University, Director of Shanghai Management Science Society, Chairman of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management Committee of Shanghai Management Science Society, Professor Liu Bin of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches respectively. Faculties and students from all participating teams, faculties from other universities and experts from enterprises attended the opening ceremony.

Professor Zhang Zheng, on behalf of the Business School, introduced the development process of the Business School in his speech. The school has undertaken the Industrial Engineering Application Innovation Competition for many times, aiming to build an exchange platform for industrial engineering applications, and promote the extensive application and innovation of technical methods and tools in the field of industrial engineering in industrial practice. Professor Wang Jinfeng said in her speech that the competition could not only deepen college students' understanding of industrial engineering expertise, combine professional knowledge with practical ability, consolidate their knowledge in innovative research, but also improve the recognition of industrial engineering from all aspects of the society. Professor Liu Bin, on behalf of the Society, said that the Professional Committee of Logistics and Supply Chain Management would fully support the Industrial Engineering Application and Innovation Competition, constantly expand the influence of the competition in the Yangtze River Delta and even all around the country, and could become a high-level event as soon as possible. Professor Ye Chunming, on behalf of the organizing committee of the competition, welcomed the teachers and students from all the fraternal schools and universities, introduced the current situation of the school's teaching reform, and said that under the situation of the national education reform, the Industrial Engineering Innovation and Application Competition should make a great achievement. It can make innovations in the reform path of cultivating talents and can create a new path for the same type of competition in the country.

Yu Xiping, vice president of Zhenhua Design and Research Institute and Process Design and Research Institute of Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., Li Dan, ergonomic manager and senior engineer of the manufacturing and operation center of SAIC General Motors, Li Wanhua, general manager of Shanghai Xianke Information Technology Co., Ltd., and other enterprise experts were invited to serve as judges.

The competition started in August this year. It actively responded to the difficulties of the epidemic, through the preliminary review of works, the selection of school competitions, and the selection of municipal competitions. It attracted 42 entries from 21 universities, including Shanghai Maritime University, China University of Metrology, South China University of Technology, and University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. Through the review, 21 groups of works were finally selected and entered the final. The final contest adopts a combination of online and offline defense, and scores are given according to the significance, feasibility, method application, implementation effect and other criteria of the project. 21 teams showed a variety of industrial engineering case project types. Each team member focused on analyzing the feasibility and organizational structure of their own projects in combination with the actual production of the enterprise. The atmosphere was warm.

After fierce competition, 2 first prizes, 4 second prizes, 6 third prizes and 9 winning prizes were decided in this competition. Among them, 7 groups of works were selected by our school competition enter the municipal final,  and won 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 3 third prizes and 1 honorable mention prize. This competition strives to broaden the scientific and technological innovation vision of college students, explore innovative practice cases, constantly promote the popularization and application of innovative methods and technologies in industrial engineering in the process of quality change, efficiency change and power change, and strive to create a professional, authoritative, and open platform for industrial engineering innovation achievements display and experience exchange.
