3212 Proposal of Knowledge Management Platform for Design & Review Quality Improvement

Abstract

As the rapid growth of technologies and global competition intensifying, quality management of product development becomes difficult and quality problems are increasing. Most of the troubles are caused in the design phase, and they should have been prevented if design knowledge is applied and examined appropriately. We have made a field survey of design and review processes from a standpoint of knowledge management, and discussed the problems extracted from the survey. This paper describes the result of the survey, a proposal of knowledge management platform, and technical or operational requirements of the platform components.
