One of the Biggest Challenges Facing Manufacturers Today is
Retaining Knowledge
Retaining Valuable Knowledge requires Proactive Strategies to
Deal With a Shifting Workforce
 Knowledge attrition is
occurring from a variety
of sources including
• Retirement
• Rapid growth
• Turnover
• Layoffs
• Mergers and
acquisitions
• Internal redeployment

What is Knowledge Management?
 KM is a methodology to create, capture, analyze,
enhance, share, and use intellectual capital to drive
effective plant operations and create a sustainable
business advantage.
 Data collected and stored in various plant systems
and databases is not knowledge.
 Knowledge Management for plant operations means
establishing an understanding of the relationship
between people, equipment, processes and
workflows.
 The ultimate goal is to create a culture of
understanding that makes the production perform to
business objectives.
 KM involves getting the right information to the right
people in the right context at the right time
Knowledge Is a Valuable Organizational Asset

Summary and Recommendations
“IF A MAN EMPTIES HIS PURSE INTO HIS HEAD, NO MAN CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM
HIM. AN INVESTMENT IN KNOWLEDGE ALWAYS PAYS THE BEST INTEREST”
Ben Franklin
 Today, nearly every plant worker can be considered a “knowledge worker”. As
such, it is imperative to provide them with the tools, information and
knowledge they need to do their tasks proficiently. If they don’t have the
knowledge, then find ways to have them get the knowledge.
 Broaden the scope of your KM program. Companies with far reaching and
institutionalized KM programs outperform those that don’t have one or takes a
limited scope approach.
 Automation and plant systems contain a lot of information about the
capabilities of your plant. Analytical tools are available to transform your real-
time and historical information into knowledge.
 Utilize IT and applied Internet technologies. Internet technology-based
products are available to help share knowledge throughout the plant, across
the enterprise and into the supply chain. With these tools, knowledge can be
presented in context with each worker's mission.
 The most effective way to retain and use knowledge is to embed it into
business processes and workflows

Editor's Notes

  1. In general, we have an aging population throughout the world.The majority of the workforce is over 45 years of ageFrom 2000 to 2010, their will be a 52 percent increase in workers of 55 years of age, while those workers between 35 and 44 will decrease by 10 percent.Shortage of skilled operators and engineers. The oil and gas will be hit particularly hard. The exodus of skilled workers is eroding a company’s ability to sustain operational excellence
  2. KM is a business model embracing knowledge as an organization asset to drive sustainable business advantage. It is a management discipline that promotes an integrated approach to create, identify, evaluate, capture enhance, share, and apply an enterprise’s intellectual capital. Bottom line: getting the right information to the right people at the right time
  3. Knowledge management includes creating/capturing, storing/indexing, and sharingDescribe components and process
  4. Not many companies have corporate wide initiativesKM is growing in importance and is quickly becoming the number one focus of companies
  5. Describe performance level of leaders, competitors and followers for each category
  6. KM supports human asset reliabilityInformation must be put into proper context and be consistentMeeting corporate business strategies requires effective use of business-centric technology that links real-time operational and financial data so that operators, supervisors, managers, and executives can make decisions about manufacturing operations and completely and predictably understand the affects their actions have on performance and profitability. This concept is Real-time Performance Management
  7. Users cite visibility as the major driving force for the adoption of OM solutions. This driver is becoming increasing more important.
