Summary: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.
Bibliography:The financial support of the Gates Cambridge Trust is gratefully acknowledged. The authors wish to thank Dr. Ricky Ricks and Dr. Paul Evans from tsc Ltd. (and formerly Innoval Ltd) for introducing them to the knowledge map methodology and for many technical discussions. The input of Dr. Gary Mahon and Helen Forrest from Innoval Ltd. is also appreciated. We also wish to thank Mr. Jean-Michel Frund and colleagues from EdF for providing us with the opportunity to conduct the case study on Zircaloy tube manufacture, and for financial support.
