A generic knowledge management approach towards the development of a decision support system

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution is increasingly implemented in most fields and categories of industry. The use of several highly developed technologies generates huge amounts of heterogeneous data and knowledge, hence the need to manage it in order to facilitate its reuse. This article proposes a global approach of knowledge management, from the analysis and development of the knowledge base structuring models, to the implementation phase using knowledge engineering tools. This research work is part of a global knowledge-based decision support framework that ensures several axes of decision support, this article deals with the diagnosis axis. It provides analysis and comprehension of the failures occurring during production. The approach has been implemented as a first demonstrator tested in a real case study: the aeronautical mechanical machining industry. This article details the issues of this implementation and its interest for the validation of the approach.

Mapping the links between Industry 4.0, circular economy and sustainability: a systematic literature review

“…I-4.0 involves a group of technologies like "IoT," "simulation,", "Internet of Service (IoS)," "cloud-based manufacturing," "big data analytics," "radio frequency identification (RFID)" focused on the digital transformation and interconnection across all production units in a given economic system JEIM (Aulawi and Amin, 2019;Cai et al, 2014;Lasi et al, 2014;Nascimento et al, 2019;Pacchini et al, 2019;Rezaee et al, 2017;Wilson et al, 2020). These technologies provide knowledge on machines, production and flow of material, integrating the information that helps in effective managerial decision-making and organizational competitiveness (Agaram, 2019;Lu, 2017;Meski et al, 2020;Romano et al, 2010;Tan et al, 2012;Sanya and Shehab, 2014;Zablith et al, 2016). The adoption of I-4.0 supports the usage of renewable energy and raw material to retain and restore the health of ecosystem and biosphere.…”
