Considerable research and development efforts have been devoted to Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP). Nevertheless, because the CAPP problem is complex and is characterized by many interdependent technical and business parameters and variables, no viable off-the-shelf solution is yet available that can be easily or widely implemented in industry. This paper presents an overview of the CAPP...

In this paper, we describe KPMTM, a knowledge-based environment for process design, management, and execution that integrates aspects of process modeling, workflow, and project management. KPM is targeted specifically to domains such as engineering design in which the dynamic and uncertain nature of the processes present management challenges that are unmet by traditional workflow systems. KPM ...

Knowledge management can be defined as a set of processes that includes knowledge creation, storage, dissemination, application, and measurement within the organization. As any other organizational process, knowledge management should be evaluated in order to verify if it is achieving the expected results. The aim of this paper is to relate metrics with the knowledge management process phases. ...

In this chapter, the topic of using process improvement approaches to improve knowledge work is addressed. The effective performance of knowledge work is critical to contemporary sophisticated economies. It is suggested that traditional, engineering-based approaches to knowledge work are incompatible with the autonomy and work approaches of many knowledge workers. Therefore, a variety of altern...

introduction: management development assessment helps managers to systematically assess the current management capabilities of their organization and take critical steps to strengthen the management skills and sustainability of their organizations. this study aimed to identify and compare the health system management development assessment models in selected international organizations and coun...

In this paper we argue that data mining can make a significant contribution to knowledge management initiatives. We use two studies to show how data mining can make the difference during the knowledge management process. First, we describe how data mining was used as part of the knowledge management initiative in a major Portuguese telecommunications company. We demonstrate how implementation o...

While there is a large body of literature on the benefits open innovation, little known about knowledge flows and interrelationship purposeful serendipitous spillover that deliver value from international innovation (IOI) collaborations. This study examines these occurring IOI extent to which entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) context, management (KM) capabilities firm, spillovers (KS), nurture eng...

The concept of dynamic capabilities is quantified in the context of strategic decision-making. Specifically, it is how business mission and value proposition formulation process, along with Knowledge Management (KM) infrastructure, help managers to create and develop dynamic capabilities by articulating and codifying relevant or critical knowledge configurations to the organisation’s domain.
