ergonomics/human factors engineering, safety engineering and management and
other related topics. His areas of interest and research include productivity
modelling, quality engineering, ergonomics, healthcare quality management,
engineering asset management and JIT-based/lean engineering and operations
management. He has secured substantial number (27 till date) of industry and
research grants. He has supervised 17 PhD
scholars till date with 6 research
scholars currently working under him. He
has supervised more than 119 MTech and 74 B-Tech projects till date. He has
coordinated several outreach training programmes and courses (more than
45)for industries and academic
institutions on several topics, such as MHRD-sponsored four GIAN courses on
Engineering Asset Management, Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering,
Production and Operations Management, and Quality Engineering in Products and
Processes, and other courses onSPC,
TQM, Six Sigma, JIT/Lean Engineering, Materials Management, Environment
Management, Workplace Stress Management and Ergonomics including long-duration
training programme on Industrial Safety Engineering and Safety Competence
Building (SCB) in Material Handling for Tata Steel.Currently, he acted as an investigator in
two-year duration UKIERI-sponsored project on ‘Climate Change Issues and
Environmental Performance of SMEs in India and the UK’ in collaboration with
Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, UK. Currently, he has
acted as Chief Expert guiding APO-sponsored project on ‘Research on
Institutions Offering Productivity Courses’ for six Asian countries, and as the
Principal Investigator in MHRD and OFB-sponsored IMPRINT project on manufacture
of shells for field guns with improved design and performance. He organized the
International Conference, MESH-2016 in December,2016 at IIT Kharagpur as its
convener. He has attended several international conferences/congresses as a
keynote speaker and a session chair.
Professor Ray is a
certified Lead Assessor for ISO-9001 registration, and is a member of several
professional bodies, such as INFORMS and IIMM, and a Fellow of World Academy of
Productivity Sciences and a Fellow of Institution of Engineers (India).
