Item Open Access Investigating innovation practices in design: creative problem solving and knowledge management(Cranfield University, 2009-03-31) Baxter, David; El Enany, N.; Varia, K.; Ferris, I.; Shipway, B.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam ShehabThis paper describes a case study investigating two key aspects of innovation practice in an engineering company: creative problem solving (CPS) and knowledge management (KM). CPS methods offer benefit to organisations in developing novel solutions and improving operations. This research identified the key factors in applying CPS methods from the literature, and compared the creative practices of one engineering organisation with three creative organisations. KM practices can support the sharing and reuse of innovative practices and creative outcomes. A central conflict in adopting KM is codification vs. personalisation. This issue is discussed with reference to a KM framework proposal.Item Open Access Through-life integration using PLM(Cranfield University, 2009-03-31) Gomez, M.; Baxter, David; Roy, Rajkumar; Kalta, M.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam ShehabIt is widely agreed that organisations would benefit from a PLM implementation founded on a standard structure that integrates through-life information and knowledge. Thus, this paper describes a PLM data structure that provides a standard repository of data through all the stages of the lifecycle: conception, manufacture, and operation. This structure classifies the data into project, product, process and resource, and has been implemented into the PDM system Teamcenter Engineering as part of a case study with a vacuum pump manufacturer. A methodology to implement a knowledge structure from an ontology editor into PDM system is also presented.
