  • Knowledge management support in the engineering change process
    Tavčar, Jože, 1966- ; Duhovnik, Jože, 1948-
    Knowledge management (KM) in the engineering change management process is crucial for any manufacturing enterprise. Increasing complexity triggers an increasing demand for systematic management of ... information and knowledge. KM is of strategic importance to a successful management of an enterprise, especially when the key staff changes. Systematically gathered, analyzed and interpreted professional experiences can prevent unnecessary costs and unnecessary engineering changes. KM is based on the interaction between tacit and explicit knowledge. The first one refers to personal skills and the other one to written documents. However, implementation of KM is a challenge, people prefer keeping knowledge for themselves and recording of knowledge in a transparent way is always time consuming. A successful implementation of KM requires a holistic and transdisciplinary approach. The people, processes and technology should be dealt with together, not focusing on a single element. The paper presents a proposal for KM that is integrated into the engineering change process. The concept is based on recording and re-using the knowledge. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) and product history files are the basic documents, used to manage the knowledge, related to a specific product. Product history files should contain good explanations for all decisions that have been made. The lessons, learned at the end of projects are additional examples of knowledge recording. Supporting activities for applying KM should include a campaign to raise the awareness and understanding of the skills for improving knowledge. The content of the acquired knowledge should be checked periodically and the analysis should be followed by corrective measures.
