Industrial Knowledge Management -

. .

Résumé :
This book presents latest thinking and activities and future trends in Industrial Knowledge Management at the micro-level. Knowledge Management is about capture and reuse of knowledge at the operational, shopfloor and designer level. Therefore, the book discusses how to deliver knowledge management and the issues involved at the micro-level.BRThe key issues addressed in the book:BR- Engineering and Managing Knowledge in the micro level;BR- Capture and Reuse of Micro-level knowledge;BR- Developing Knowledge Models, Knowledge Representations;BR- Industrial Best Practice;BR- Tools;BR- Prototype System Development;BR- Resource Guide.BRThe book demonstrates frameworks, techniques and tools to capture knowledge from people, data and process, formalise the knowledge and finally share and reuse the knowledge using an appropriate tool in the business. Therefore, the book is a guide to the knowledge workers and researchers in realising knowledge management at the micro-level.
