Knowledge Management - a crucial success factor in the technology life cycle
Our service ...
Today, knowledge transfer and knowledge management are critical success factors in the technology life cycle – critical in the identification, evaluation, and development of future technologies, in the holistic development of processes, in the execution of investment projects, and in the optimization of established products and processes.
Today, the information technology products
- groupware applications
- document management
- workflow systems
are absolutely essential to an organization for a variety of reasons, including the international nature of project teams, the need for verification of quality management, and the need for product documentation. Because of the growing number of alliances and collaborations in today’s global business environment, there is an increasing need for the simultaneous development of plants and processes. Consider a plant to be built in China. Basic engineering might be performed in Germany, but detailed engineering can be produced inexpensively by a subsidiary in Eastern Europe. A local office in China organizes the steel engineering. Thus, the world becomes one giant network. Against this background, communication is the lynchpin and interface of a project. Above all, communication means exchanging data.
Efficient communication and smooth global data exchange are even more important given that changes to limiting conditions (national and international legislation, FDA requirements, etc.) have a great impact on business processes in the chemical and, in particular, pharmaceutical industries.
This results in stringent requirements for the quality of project documentation – and specifically for document workflow. Documents must be made available quickly, to any location at any time. It is also essential to ensure the controlled issue and withdrawal of documents that are subject to verification.
