Process Knowledge Management in Concurrent Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a knowledge engineering approach for the elicitation of know-how about engineering processes, the reuse of process patterns and its application to the coordination of concurrent engineering tasks. Process know-how is instrumental to govern engineering teams. Process know-how also leads to better process awareness, that is, pro-active services deliver related information at the right time to the right person. Our approach is founded in an agent based intelligent process management kit (AgiP). A process repository manages basic building blocks and structures of processes. Hence, valuable design knowledge is collected for reuse in future projects by populating and maintaining the repository.

A Framework for a Knowledge-Based System for Risk Management in Concurrent Engineering
Knowledge is a requirement for concurrent engineering, and therefore an approach to capture and organise the different knowledge to be taken into account in concurrent engineering is proposed. This approach, known as the "MEthodology for Knowledge Engineering for Concurrent Engineering" (MEKECE) is a dedicated application of knowledge engineering methodologies to concurrent engineering that inv...
متن کاملKnowledge Refinement for Engineering Knowledge Management Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications Knowledge Refinement for Engineering Knowledge Management
Engineering design is a knowledge-intensive process, including conceptual design, detailed design, engineering analysis, assembly design, process design, and performance evaluation. Each of these tasks involves various aspects of knowledge and experience. They are the most valuable sources for capitalizing enterprise knowledge and know-how on building enterprise memory, which may become part of...
متن کاملUsing Viewpoints and CG for the Representation and Management of a Corporate Memory in Concurrent Engineering
In Concurrent Engineering, several participants (designers, managers,...) stemming from different specialities, collaborate in order to build a system. In this paper, we propose a representation with the Conceptual Graph formalism to keep a trace of the design process in Concurrent Engineering as a project memory. Such design process is a cycle of individual design and collaborative evaluation....
متن کاملKnowledge Network: An Information Repository with Services for Managing Concurrent Engineering Design
Our effort is to construct a Knowledge Aided Design (KAD) system, which aims at supporting concurrent engineering design and improving cooperation and coordination among design engineers. The KAD system centers on a knowledge network that stores design knowledge and provides services for the management of shared design, and a WWW user interface for knowledge access and acquisition. The knowledg...
متن کاملModelling Knowledge Intensive Engineering Processes with the Knowledge Modeller Declaration Language KMDL
Engineering is a knowledge intensive process. Many tools are known that are able to support the knowledge management in these processes but do not relate to the flow and conversion of knowledge, especially in concurrent engineering processes. In this paper a modelling approach for knowledge intensive processes is presented that combines advantages of business process modelling with the necessar...
