Steps involved in creating a KCR/PLM Application?
There are three steps involved in creating a KCR/PLM Application.
Step 1: Problem Decomposition: Design problem is first decomposed into system, subsystems, components, parts and materials or features.
Step 2: Generic Modeling: The second step is generically modelling each part of the decomposed system one by one using parametric, rules and constraints. Initially, a parametric PLM (CAD) model is created using established best practices. (your company's best practices, or our recommended techniques) following the engineering requirements. Then rules and constraints are attached to those parametric CAD objects. A series of templates are therefore created through this process belonging to each class: such as system, subsystem, parts and features as the case may be. Each class of templates is tested to ensure compliance to design requirements, meeting performance specifications, and defined rules in its own class.
Step 3: Problem Aggregation: The third step is aggregation or integration of the decomposed knowledge elements or templates into a whole system.
If you follow the above 3 steps, the resulting KCR Application has 3 major (direct) benefits.
1) Designs based on the Knowledge template use the same rules, eliminating engineering errors
2) New designs are created new from best practices not "from scratch" thus, saving development time and efforts
3) Design outputs coming out of KCR model are not subject to CAD modeling practices between various designers, thus, providing consistency, eliminating design variability and possible human errors.
Knowledge Solution (KSol) provides KCR/PLM techniques for knowledge and data engineering, methods of capturing rules & heuristics, concepts of knowledge advisor, knowledge expert and product knowledge templates, process knowledge templates, business knowledge templates, and technological objects in a PLM setting.
Contact us today, and find out if KBE techniques/ solutions will work for you. We give free consultations to determine the feasibility of all Knowledge capture and reuse (KCR) inquiries.
