| | | | Knowledgeware in action | One large manufacturer improved operation organizational effectiveness with knowledgeware solutions. Their implementation: - Created an entire product design several times faster than previous methods
- Captured and modeled input from sales within the product design
- Created intellectual capital by capturing staff expertise
In another implementation, a manufacturer used our knowledgeware solutions to achieve: - Tooling knowledge embedded in power train parts and assemblies
- Greater efficiency from a rules-based system for tooling generation
- Improved quality control: an automated validation process with embedded checks
- Improved productivity reduced tooling time by 50%
|
| | | | The return on investment | Knowledgeware solutions have produced a fast return on investment for many of our customers, including manufacturers who: - Experienced a 30% reduction in tooling development time and a 50% reduction in design changes
- Designed an entire system 15 times faster
- Improved efficiency using an automated validation process with embedded checks
- Developed a product using captured knowledge, reducing development time
