“…Due to the complexity of problem-solving in production system consulting within client factories, creating a GPM directly without guidance from inexperienced production systems consultants (KEs) poses a challenge. However, given that most consulting processes exhibit similar patterns [29], we hypothesize that by establishing a general consulting process (CP) pattern [30], it would facilitate the construction of a GPM by KEs and enable the analysis of skilled consultants' CP. This pattern is referred to as the Generalized Consulting Process Model (GCPM).…”

This study aims to analyze the process flow of skilled consultants who utilize production improvement know-how and digital technology to enhance production systems in external companies. The concept of a Digital Triplet (D3), which expands the authors’ Digital Twin framework to include the intelligent activity world, is adopted as it aligns with this study’s objective. Given the complexity of the problems faced by production system consulting and the resulting inadequacy of reusing decision-making processes of skilled engineers based on the Generalized Process Model (GPM) using D3, a production system consulting modeling method is proposed. This method incorporates the Generalized Production System Consulting Process Model (GCPM) to generalize the production system consulting process. Using the proposed method, a case study focusing on energy-saving improvements was conducted to describe and analyze the consulting process of skilled consultants. The results show that the proposed method effectively captures the process flow of skilled consultants while considering the iterative structure of the GCPM. Additionally, utilizing the GCPM enables a comprehensive view of the entire process, facilitating an understanding of how knowledge and tools are utilized in various contexts.

“…In production systems consulting, solving complex problems in client factories involves diverse problem-solving processes. For an inexperienced knowledge engineer (KE), developing a structured log-level description or Generalized Production System Consulting Process Model (GCPM) without guidance poses significant challenges [46]. Given the presence of recurring patterns in many consulting processes [47], we devised a generalized consulting process (CP) pattern and streamlined the efforts of skilled consultants to facilitate the construction of a GPM, thereby easing CP analysis for the KE [46].…”

The GCPM typically concludes upon client approval of proposed improvements; however, it may also terminate based on contractual obligations, irrespective of client satisfaction.…”

This study aims to experimentally confirm whether knowledge that has been challenging to transfer through traditional on-the-job training (OJT) can be effectively transferred by introducing a formalized OJT approach that describes the improvement process knowledge of skilled production systems consultants, facilitating imitation by unskilled consultants. We adopted the Digital Triplet (D3) concept, an extension of the authors’ digital twin framework to intelligent activities, aligning with our study objectives. Recognizing the difficulty and inadequacy of knowledge transfer in production systems consulting OJT, we propose an OJT support method integrating a decision-making modeling approach for skilled consultants’ processes based on the Generalized Production Systems Consulting Process Model (GCPM) from prior literature into traditional OJT methods involving self-learning and direct instruction. This method enables the construction of a domain-specific GCPM, formalizing the improvement process flow implemented by skilled consultants and linking it to production improvement expertise and tools. In a case study focused on energy-saving improvement, we constructed and tested a domain-specific GCPM’s efficacy in facilitating the transfer of difficult-to-transfer knowledge. The results indicate that domain-specific GCPM facilitates such knowledge transfer, including specialized improvement, knowledge utilization, rationale, and adaptation to specific cases.
