abstract

  • Manufacturing knowledge is often embedded in the minds of different experts or is not effectively shared between manufacturing stages. Many companies are therefore running the risk of missing or loosing critical information. This study discusses the concept of “knowledge maps” to document the interactions between all stages of the manufacturing process and all product attributes. Potential applications of knowledge maps in manufacturing are discussed and explored in a detailed case study.
