Background
Fan is currently on the Education and Scholarship pathway.
He was
born and studied in Hong Kong, and graduated with First Class Honours in
Industrial Engineering. He completed his graduate engineer training at Qualidux
Industrial Co Ltd in Hong Kong. He was awarded the Commonwealth Scholarship and
completed his PhD in Computer Integrated Manufacturing in Cranfield. After
returning to Hong Kong, he worked as CADCAM Manager at Qualidux Industrial Co
Ltd, responsible for introducing CAD, CAM, and CNC in plastic injection design
and engineering.
In 1990,
Fan started to work in The CIM Institute, endowed by IBM in Cranfield, to carry
out research, education, and consultancy in new applications of computers in
manufacturing. He led many European and UK-funded research programmes to create
new tools and methods in knowledge-based engineering design, business
performance, quality management, supply chain, and complexity science.
He has a
passion for understanding the underlying reasons and developing better
approaches to help organisations work more effectively. He looks at the world
with a socio-technical lens to explore the complex interactions between people
systems and technology systems. The knowledge span includes system engineering,
business process analysis, quality and performance management system,
organisation design and behaviour, technology-induced change, human psychology
and motivation. The application domains include aerospace, engineering,
manufacturing, business services, IT, education, health, and local
government.
The complex dynamics of people factor in technology implementation prompted him to create a European research consortium for the Framework 5 research project BEST - Better Enterprise System Implementation. The 12 partners, €4 million project created a body of knowledge that feeds into teaching curriculum and consultancy.
Fan is the Course Director of the MSc in Aviation Digital Technology Management.
Research opportunities

Current activities
Dr Ip-Shing Fan is leading the Digital MRO and Hangar laboratories in the Cranfield DARTeC Initiative.
The complex is a realistic representation of airport ramp and hangar environment to study the interactions between aircraft, engineers, airport and hangar facilities, ground vehicles and drones.
The digital infrastructure support aircraft digital twins work to maintain the accurate configuration in the information world of airworthiness, as the engineering health status of the aircraft structure and systems to predict and prevent failures.
A number of consortia are being established to work in Paperless Aviation, Aircraft Inspection, Robotic Maintenance and Predictive Health Management.
Fan is the Course Director of the MSc in Aviation Digital Technology Management. He leads the MSc modules in Aviation Digitalisation, Digital Aviation Operations and Maintenance Management, Digital Aviation Supply Chain Management, Enterprise Systems, Business Process Analysis and Engineering, and Project and Programme Management.
Fan is the Chairman of the Bedford Branch of BCS.
Clients
He works with a wide range of engineering, IT and non-business organisations, including:
