CIM Research Institute Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Satoshi Tochihashi) will release the new product "Dr. Engineering Navi" series in April 2026 to address various challenges in production sites. This product is a process management/cost management system specialized for individual order production with the following three features:
- The "Factory's Command Tower (Navigator)" that connects manufacturing site information and leads to reliable delivery achievement.
- Three editions that allow selection of the optimal starting line according to management level.
- Support for system upgrades that match the company's management level proficiency.
This product will be exhibited at the "Kansai Smart Factory EXPO" held at INTEX Osaka from Wednesday, May 13, 2026, and at "INTERMOLD Nagoya" held at Port Messe Nagoya from Wednesday, May 20.
## Overview of the "Dr. Engineering Navi" Series
This product consists of three editions: Basic, Standard, and Enterprise. All editions commonly provide a master Gantt chart that serves as the factory's command tower (navigator). All stakeholders involved in product manufacturing can overlook the production status via the master Gantt chart, and production plans and progress are reflected on it regardless of the edition. Furthermore, system integration functions are standard equipment, enabling the management of various internal data. Additionally, individual cost management functions are also included in all editions, allowing for real-time cost tracking.
Please check our special website for the features of the three editions.

By implementing an edition that fits the desired management level, it is possible to share information across the manufacturing site regardless of company size, leading to reliable delivery achievement and contributing to the maximization of productivity.
## Background of the "Dr. Engineering Navi" Series Product Development
For many years, we have been engaged in a business specialized for individual order production sites, including mold manufacturing, through our process management system "Dr. Engineering PRO" centered on a production scheduler. However, even within individual order production, management policies are not uniform, and challenges vary. The reasons for this include:
- In SMEs, operations start with manual management methods like whiteboards or Excel, and management methods do not change even as the company grows.
- In large companies focused on mass production, unique management is required because individual manufacturing departments are outside the scope of integrated systems.
The "Dr. Engineering Navi" series provides a product lineup that allows system implementation according to the management level required by the production site. Furthermore, it is easily upgradeable according to changes in the management level.
