Case 3: a manufacturing companyA European manufacturing company that had more than 60 production units in some 30 countries implemented three distinct KM projects, namely, “production project”, “supply-chain project” and “design project”. The focus of “production” was on capturing, documenting and sharing knowledge about production methods such as machine maintenance methods and safety prevention. The main aim was to cut production costs. “Supply” was intended to improve and distribute knowledge about offered products in downstream supply chain. The aim was to enhance product functionality and better understand the elects of product design on the economics of transport and warehousing. The objective of “design” was to improve structural product design so that designers could construct prototypes with minimal raw materials.Two years after implementation, “production” was able to capture and transfer knowledge to the plant that needed it, but its aim to promote the application of the new knowledge resulted in a mixed level of success. “Supply” was a codification of knowledge culled from customers, warehouse delivery centers, transporters and end-consumers. However, it was under-utilized. “Design” was a highly sophisticated software system but it was largely neglected by designers and became obsolete after a while.
