Nowadays Knowledge management has been of great interest globally. Bahraini's Bank have been given interest to IT investment in knowledge Management. This paper concentrate on the availability of Knowledge-Based System and the benefits estimated from the use of such a system in increasing the effectiveness of decisions. The paper highlights the need for an automated tool to support the decision-making process. The affect of four factors, representing the use of KMS, had been studied to see their effect on decisions. These factors are: availability of required technologies, capabilities of individuals, coordination between departments, and acceptance and trust of decision makers. Overall, the results show that there was a significant relationship between the effectiveness of decision making and the availability of required technologies, capabilities of individuals and coordination between departments. On the other hand, there was no relationship between the effectiveness of decision making and acceptance and trust of decision makers in Bahraini banks.
The manufacturing industry heavily relies on deep drawing due to its remarkable ability to produce intricate symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes with accuracy and efficiency. This research aimed to create a deep drawing tool capable of producing a pentagonal cup measuring 41mm in diameter and 30mm in height. This was achieved by conducting numerical simulations and experimental tests using two different methods. The first method involved converting an 80mm diameter circular blank into a pentagonal cup through a drawing operation, while the second method involved redrawing a cylindrical cup into a pentagonal shape. The study also analyzed the impact of these methods on the drawing load, stress/strain distributions, and thickness distributions. The finite element method software, ANSYS 20, was employed for numerical simulations. The results showed that the first method had a significantly higher punch load than the second method. However, the pentagonal cup produced using the first method had a greater thickness reduction towards the cup wall curvature compared to those produced using the second method. Therefore, the second method was considered ideal for manufacturing a pentagonal cup because it resulted in a lower degree of thinning at the cup curvature and a more uniform distribution of thickness, stress, and strain. In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of deep drawing in the manufacturing industry and emphasizes the need to choose the appropriate forming method to achieve optimal results.
