“…This approach relies on a must or desirable being inserted into the brief document, then being linked to an umbrella term from the ontology. This approach could be enhanced of supported by a facetted classification (Giess et al 2008) enabling concepts and ideas to be linked to other supporting information regarding markets, business sector, date of conception, creator, project manager etc.…”

Creative idea generation is essential to novel concept development and ultimately innovation. The following paper describes an extensive industry-based study investigating the use of creative stimuli during a brainstorming session at the conceptual stages of design. A new approach to retrieving creative stimuli referred to as 'Sweeper' is proposed, which sources stimuli internal to a company's information repository. This creative stimuli tool is then compared to other creative stimuli tools using objective, industrially grounded performance criteria. This study provides an arguably much needed real, industrially-based experiment regarding brainstorming. The results and observations suggest that having a guided approach to sourcing creative stimuli is very beneficial. The use of the TRIZ contradiction matrix and inventive principles is also shown to be a good example of a guided approach in terms of increasing creative performance. However, the Sweeper tool using internally sourced stimuli provides a method that is useful and more a practical alternative, as it is based firmly in the domain of activity.

“…In relation to the DIKM hierarchy described earlier, most of the research from the engineering field has addressed the topic of knowledge management at the data and information levels (Giess et al 2008;Jagtap 2008). This approach is aligned with the technocratic approach and results in developing knowledge-based engineering systems to support the management of codified information (Earl 2001).…”

This paper aims to investigate the knowledge generated during the later phases of the life cycle of a complex customised product and understand how this knowledge is transferred between projects and between different user groups. A series of four identical rigs for offshore drilling was selected as a case study, and the transfer of knowledge between the first two rigs was explored through two sets of interviews with the rig operators and the project management team. The expected knowledge transfer strategies that emerged from the first set of interviews were analysed and compared with the actual transfer mechanisms identified in the second set of interviews, and similarities and differences were investigated. It was found that the transfer of knowledge primarily occurred within the individual phases of the product's life cycle, and there was poor transfer across the different phases.

Abstract:Purpose: Many global organizations have aligned their strategy and operation via the ISObased framework of integrated management system (IMS) that allows the merge of quality, environment, health and safety management systems. In such context, having a robust electronic document management system (EDMS) is essential, especially at global enterprises, where a large amount of documents generated by processes, flows through different work cultures. However, there is no "one-size-fits-all" design for EDMS because it depends on organizations' needs, size and resource allocation. For this reason, it is crucial to conduct empirical studies in the area of EDMS in order to capture experience and best practices. This article firstly outlines a common understanding of relevant concepts such as process-oriented organizations, workflow, document flow, IMS and EDMS from literature study. Furthermore, this article discusses the vital role of EDMS in supporting global enterprises to implement the ISO-certified IMS approach. Finally, from a case study of a global enterprise employing IMS, this article examines the benefits of using EDMS, practical issues arise and lessons learned.Design/methodology/approach: This article is methodologically based upon a qualitative, interpretivistic, longitudinal empirical study of a global supplier of wind turbine solutions. The context-dependent knowledge and practical experience generated from this in-depth case study is intended to contribute to the cumulative learning in the field.
