Often enough, as a result of such kind of transfer of knowledge, the recipient will not be enabled to increase his or her ability to act. This paper focuses on how firms have can overcome the problems of traditional 'package' thinking in the transfer of technological knowledge. Emphasizing an action perspective, the objective of the transfer of technological knowledge is seen in creating actionable knowledge at the recipient while traditional transfer modes too often created inert knowledge at the recipient's site.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Having precise and comprehensive information about \"what's going on outside the company\" to support technology-related decision-making may be crucial to gain competitive advantage. Technology intelligence (TI) is a systematic program for gathering, analyzing and disseminating information about the technical environment, in order to find new opportunities. The successful implementation of a technology intelligence system (TIS) depends on several key-factors which should be well discussed before any efforts are taking place. This paper presents a discussion of the most important key-factors comparing theoretical viewpoints with practical experience made during a TIS-implementation project in a mid-sized Swiss MedTech company.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

WAP is an enabling technology that will bridge the gap between the mobile world and the Internet, bringing sophisticated solutions to mobile users, independent of the user and network. Backed by 75 percent of the companies behind the world's mobile telephone market and the huge development potential of WAP, the future for WAP looks bright.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Some enterprises have begun to apply workflow analysis to improve business processes with the help of universities and research institutions, such as the reengineering of the registration process, commercial and industrial administration, future-oriented shopping processes on the web, and manufacturing oriented management processes. Workflow Management is the technology that supports re-organization of business processes and information processes, including three major aspects: process modeling; business process reengineering; and workflow, implementation and automation.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

This paper first reviews the recent literature on science and technology in China. Historical evidence is then adduced to support the argument. Observations are offered on the political constraints impeding technology development in present-day China. It is argued that, despite the desire for change, China has inherited a legacy of mistrust towards the import of technology particularly within its influential political organizations. This contradiction impedes and distorts technology development at the enterprise level. This paper sets the innovation processes in Chinese companies within its wider political-economic context, enabling technology suppliers to China to better understand the unique features underlying technology development in China.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

In this regard, an agility audit packet was prepared and was distributed to selected personnel in three different adhesive manufacturing companies. The packet consisted of questions relating to each of the four dimensions of agility. These questions covered the widest, range of topics possible in order to fully benchmark the level of agility of each company against an ideal case. Three companies were studied and observations were made with respect to the answers that were provided during a series of interviews as well as an in-depth analysis of the survey results. Our analysis shows that all the three companies, more or less follow the same trend with respect to their operations. None of the three companies in this survey was operating near an ideal agile status. However, all three companies were aware of the principles that would lead them towards becoming agile. It was understood that it would not be possible to attain a totally ideal operation, however, a company could continuously strive to become more agile. To help these companies progress towards this goal, the results were analyzed and a series of recommendations were made. This paper summarizes some of our findings in that regard.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01. Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology.

{"title":"Task-centered manufacturing information system: structure and application","authors":"Bin Wu","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2001.952023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2001.952023","url":null,"abstract":"Demands on manufacturing industry to provide flexibility and to reduce costs have put pressures on manufacturing companies to improve productivity. These demands, coupled with computer hardware and software advances, have encouraged manufacturing information system (MIS) development. As a result the role and importance of a MIS within the manufacturing environment has changed dramatically in recent years. An understanding of the new requirements is essential. In particular, traditional ways of providing manufacturing information to the shop-floor has not necessarily been task related. Rather, general information were made available but needed to be found or located as and when required. Although this has satisfied the requirements of normal operations, there are a number of problems associated with this form of documentation and display. The physical separation of the processes and their descriptions, the procedures, the poor user friendliness, the high maintenance efforts and the inability of the documentation systems to effectively capture process \"know how\" are some of the key problems. These have placed limitations on the use of traditional approaches. As an attempt to improve the situation, this paper discusses the structure of a task-centered, multi-media (TCMM) manufacturing information system which aims to provide a working environment to help the user collect, select and present manufacturing data according to the specific needs of managers/operators. With a task-centered user interface and an integrated computer-based training (CBT) module, such a system can be used at various levels within the organization both as: A reference library to provide information such as products data and operational procedures; A task-centred, interactive system to help carry out on-line operations, and; A computer-aided training tool to train the company's managers/operators. Furthermore, its structure as a \"knowledge repository\" should lend itself to grow and adoptive, as the company's product ranges and manufacturing processes progress through time. A number of intranet-based TCMM implementation are also discussed to illustrate its industrial application.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.
