Book Methods and Tools for Effective Knowledge Life Cycle Management

Download or read book Methods and Tools for Effective Knowledge Life Cycle Management written by Alain Bernard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Management is a wide, critical and strategic issue for all the com- nies, from the SMEs to the most complex organizations. The key of competiti- ness is knowledge, because of the necessity of reactivity, flexibility, agility and innovation capacities. Knowledge is difficult to measure itself but what is visible, this is the way of improving products, technologies and enterprise organizations. During the last four years, based on the experience of most of the best experts around the World, CIRP (The International Academy for Production Engineering) has decided to prepare and structure a Network of Excellence (NoE) proposal. The European Community accepted to found the VRL-KCiP (Virtual Research La- ratory – Knowledge Community in Production). As its name indicates it, the aim of this NoE was really to build a «Knowledge Community in Production ». This was possible and realistic because the partners were representative of the most important universities in Europe and also because of strong partnerships with laboratories far from Europe (Japan, Australia, South Africa, USA, etc...). Based on such powerful partnership, the main issue was to help European manufacturing industry to define and structure the strategic knowledge in order to face the strategic worldwide challenges. Manufacturing in Europe currently has two essential aspects: 1. It has to be knowledge intensive given the European demands for high-tech products and services (e.g. electronics, medicines).

Book Knowledge Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing

Download or read book Knowledge Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing written by Carlos Zozaya-Gorostiza and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1989-05-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge-Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing describes a knowledge-based system architecture that is used to develop process planning systems called PLANEX. This book explains that PLANEX is a domain-independent, knowledge-based process planning system architecture. Starting from a description of the physical artifact to be constructed or manufactured, PLANEX generates the set of activities used to create the artifact. These activities, with their required resources, are linked into a process planning network which can be used in project scheduling or management. This text also reviews the concepts, requirements, and resulting architecture of PLANEX, including detailed descriptions of applications of the system in construction and manufacturing. This publication is recommended to engineers, architects, and specialists interested in construction and manufacturing process planning.

Book Knowledge Management in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Download or read book Knowledge Management in the Pharmaceutical Industry written by Elisabeth Goodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pharmaceutical Industry has been undergoing a major transformation since the heady days of 'big pharma' in the 1970s and 80s. Patent expiry, the rise of generics, and the decline of the blockbuster drug have all changed the landscape over the last 10-15 years. It's an environment where products can take 10 years or more to come to market, billions are spent on research and development, jobs are being shed in the western pharma homelands and regulators and the public are more demanding than ever. So what part is Knowledge Management playing and going to play in this vital international industry? Knowledge Management (KM) has many facets from providing comprehensive knowledge bases for workers, through the sharing of advice and problem solving, to providing an environment for innovation and change. This book, focusing on research and development, and manufacturing-based companies, explores how a range of techniques and approaches have been applied in the unique environment of the Pharmaceutical Industry, and examine how it can help the industry in the 21st century. Whilst the book is centered on the Pharmaceutical Industry, its objective will be to discuss and demonstrate how Knowledge Management can be applied in a variety of environments, and with a range of cultural issues. KM practitioners, and potential practitioners, both within and outside the Pharmaceutical Industry, will be able to gain valuable guidance and advice from both the examples of good practice and the lessons learned by the authors and contributors.

Book Information Based Manufacturing

Download or read book Information Based Manufacturing written by Michael J. Shaw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-01-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their mutually influencing interactions, information systems and modern manufacturing systems are intertwined. They have been so integrated that information systems have become an embedded and critical component of any effective manufacturing system. The impact of the increasing focus on information permeates throughout the manufacturing life cycle, from product conceptualization, design, process planning, all the way to production, order fulfilment, and customer services. For these reasons, it is critical that we study information-based manufacturing in its entirety, crossing the traditional functional boundaries and building as much synergy between Information Systems (IS), Information Technology (IT), and manufacturing as possible. This is the motivation for this book and, to this end, the purpose of this book is threefold: to establish an up-to-date interdisciplinary research framework for information-based manufacturing that builds on the research foundation from IS and IT and manufacturing research; to develop a forward-looking research agenda for information-based manufacturing for identifying future directions for research and applications; and to foster a joint academic and industrial research agenda in information systems and manufacturing by identifying the greatest synergy possible between academic research and industrial practices.

Book Knowledge based Reactive Scheduling

Download or read book Knowledge based Reactive Scheduling written by Elizabeth Szelke and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1994 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactive scheduling is concerned with monitoring and controlling the execution of predictive schedules and making any changes required to bring them in line with unanticipated events or disturbances happening in real time. Whilst predictive scheduling has been a focus of research for many years, it is only recently that explicit attention has been given to the specific problems of reactive scheduling and the relationship between the two.This publication explores the scope and status of both existing and potential approaches to reactive scheduling. Concentration is centred on knowledge-based approaches as the importance of domain knowledge, whether stored in computers or in the brains of experienced schedulers, is becoming increasingly apparent. Contributions examine a variety of approaches ranging from reactive scheduling decision support frameworks in which the knowledge comes mainly from the human, through to completely new approaches to automated reactive scheduling such as neural networks.The book will be of particular interest to researchers, students and engineers involved in the manufacturing and software development industries. In addition to providing a significant reference volume, it also aims to stimulate increased discussion in this emerging field.

Book Production Management Methods

Download or read book Production Management Methods written by Cláudio Walter and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1994 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National borders are becoming increasingly open for goods and ideas and this is creating challenges both for the industrialized countries and for the developing world. Most countries wish to keep and to grow their industries and this requires the design and operation of very complex systems in such a way as to maximize jobs, profits and the quality of life in general, under quite different conditions. An improved understanding of the distinct operations, variable trade offs - indeed quite individual conceptual models of manufacturing systems in different regions is therefore necessitated.This publication addresses various aspects involved in the achievement of the aim. It presents new developments in production management methods; tools for the evaluation of them; and assessments of the adequacy of different production management methods applied to various classes of production systems. Test cases and application statistics are analysed, thereby affording a comprehensive picture of the present situation and a vision for enhanced future development.
