Finally a DSM-based design knowledge management system is introduced, which can enable the efficient knowledge capturing, searching, and tracing in product design.
What is needed is a systematic and structured way for product design knowledge capturing, organization, and reuse.
This paper discusses the agent technology in the context of virtual enterprises in order to improve automated knowledge capturing, knowledge reuse, and knowledge transfer.
The objective of this paper is to investigate roles and usages of expert engineering knowledge in high-quality manufacturing, and to study a practical knowledge capturing method for realizing engineering support tools.
A key planning requirement was to utilise the aggregate product model by developing process knowledge capturing and optimisation techniques so that production time and cost can be calculated for complex fabrications requiring many welding operations and set-ups.
Even if some authors have linked competence with work situation, there is often a lack of documentation concerning knowledge capturing about a designer's work situation which would help managers characterise competency.
