The role of knowledge management in the space industry: important or superfluous?

Abstract

Purpose -This article aims to describe the importance of knowledge management (KM) to the space industry.Design/methodology/approach -Drawing from a range of literature published in the academic and industry arenas, also including articles published in this special issue. The authors also apply their personal experience and practical knowledge.Findings -Implementations in KM within aerospace organizations and space industry have grown beyond mere technology thrusts, and now include aspects of culture, people, and process. These more sophisticated KM tasks build on technology and information to help guide organizations through the intricacies of working with international teams and making ever-more-complex decisions.Practical implications -All organizations make mistakes; an important factor for recovering from these errors and avoiding the repetition of these problems is the implementation of a knowledge management system (KMS).Originality/value -Most general KM articles discuss KM from the technology thrusts; this article describes how the implementation in KMS within space organizations has grown beyond mere technology thrusts and now includes aspects of culture, people, and process.

How to utilize tacit knowledge in health organizations: An Iranian perspective

“…These committees were asked to investigate the reports of incidents and lessons learned and to rank these lessons and their application in existing and planned projects. Lessons learned were used to improve plans and projects through a process of detection, acquisition, organization, analysis, goal setting, dissemination, utilization, and feedback of experiences (29, 30).…”

Systematic reuse and platforming: Application examples for enhancing reuse with model-based systems engineering methods in space systems development

“…The overarching aim is to learn from past mistakes. For this purpose, procedures based on lessons learned documentation but also risk-focused documentation and proper document storage are studied (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 2014; Olla and Holm, 2006). Paris-Lopez et al (2013) describe processes for managing explicit knowledge generated during the concurrent engineering (CE) process in a space systems research institute, with specific focus on documentation and CE study artefacts, while others such as Prasad and Rogers (2005) have described a knowledge-based SE process that makes use of explicit and tacit knowledge to support mechanical design of component assemblies.…”
