In this paper, we introduce a framework for knowledge reuse and deduction in mechanical products design and development. The proposed system effectively exploits the capitalized and inferred knowledge. To this end, we settled up an ontology dealing with the design process of mechanical products such as “the car”. The ontology-based framework is supported by a software tool that brings an automatic and personalized assistance to correspondent actors using the deduction process. Indeed, the systems provides the relevant knowledge to the suitable users in order to facilitate their professional tasks considering their roles and collaboration. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of reusing knowledge during product development lifecycle.
The work presented in this paper is related to the organizational knowledge management. The goal of this work is to allow the reuse of capitalized knowledge, in order to help designers in all phases of product design process. The proposed approach is based on the assistance of professional actors with an automatic and specific alarm using the project memory, eases pull (search) of knowledge by helping individual searches and proposes the specific automatic assistance to the professional actors. This approach is based upon a Knowledge Reuse System (KRS) which takes into account the roles of the professional actors and their collaboration throughout the product design process in order to bring automatic help to the actors.
