Implementing a hybrid approach in a knowledge engineering process to manage technical advice relating to feedback from the operation of complex sensitive equipment

TL;DR

This paper presents a hybrid knowledge engineering approach implemented in an industrial setting to manage technical advice and operational feedback for complex equipment, enhancing organizational knowledge and expertise retention.

Contribution

It demonstrates how a tailored knowledge engineering method, integrated with the SARBACANES system and Ardans platform, improves management of operational feedback in sensitive industries.

Findings

Successful implementation of a knowledge management system in nuclear and defense sectors.

Enhanced knowledge sharing and expertise preservation through the SARBACANES application.

Accelerated modeling process using the Ardans Knowledge Maker platform.

Abstract

How can technical advice on operating experience feedback be managed efficiently in an organization that has never used knowledge engineering techniques and methods? This article explains how an industrial company in the nuclear and defense sectors adopted such an approach, adapted to its "TA KM" organizational context and falls within the ISO30401 framework, to build a complete system with a "SARBACANES" application to support its business processes and perpetuate its know-how and expertise in a knowledge base. Over and above the classic transfer of knowledge between experts and business specialists, SARBACANES also reveals the ability of this type of engineering to deliver multi-functional operation. Modeling was accelerated by the use of a tool adapted to this type of operation: the Ardans Knowledge Maker platform.
