About

Songi Kim is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and logistics, whose work is shaping the future of industrial systems. Her primary research areas include mass customisation, smart manufacturing, and drone-assisted multimodal logistics. Kim’s most influential contribution is her seminal 2022 paper, “The paradigm shift of mass customisation research” (37 citations), which provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how emerging technologies—such as AI and IoT—are driving a new era of flexible, customer-centric production. This work has become a key reference for scholars and practitioners navigating the transition from lean production to mass customisation. In her more recent 2024 study, “Drone-Assisted Multimodal Logistics: Trends and Research Issues” (8 citations), she employs advanced text-mining techniques to map the evolving landscape of drone-integrated supply chains, identifying critical research gaps and future directions. Kim’s ability to synthesize technological trends and propose actionable research agendas has made her a rising voice in industrial engineering. Her work not only advances academic understanding but also offers practical insights for industries seeking to leverage automation and data-driven decision-making in an increasingly complex global economy.
