Development and Evaluation of Lessons Learned Knowledge Management System In IC Packaging and Testing IndustryChen, Rainbow 02 August 2001 (has links)
½×¤åºKn (^)
In the IC packaging and testing industry, short lead-time, high yield performance and excellence in quality are the major factors for competition. To achieve these goals, experienced and knowledgeable employees as well as a culture appreciating collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing are essential. The case company realized and promoted the importance of collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing. Currently, several collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing activities can be observed in the case company. Although the case company appreciates and creates the culture of collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing, several challenges remain to be addressed.
¡P Reuse of lessons learned knowledge (or tacit knowledge for short) seldom takes place.
¡P Retention of Lessons Learned knowledge is lacking.
¡P The availability of lessons learned knowledge is a concern.
To address the above-mentioned challenges faced by the case company, the purpose of this research is to develop and implement a knowledge management system. Specifically, an lessons learned knowledge repository will be constructed for capturing, retaining and reusing lessons learned knowledge. The goals of the target knowledge management system include facilitating efficient inter- and intra-departmental knowledge sharing and improving the knowledge availability that, in turn, leading to a productivity improvement. Empirical evaluations on the usability of the proposed system will be conducted and analyzed.

Channel Preference of Knowledge SourcingZhang, Yiwen January 2008 (has links)
Knowledge is the critical success factor for organizations to compete in the contemporary business world. Organizations that can make full use of their collective expertise and knowledge are likely to be more innovative, efficient and effective in the marketplace. With the development of advanced information and communication technology, organizations are undertaking various knowledge management initiatives to augment traditional ways of knowledge transfer. This dissertation intended to understand how various factors influence knowledge workers' knowledge sourcing behavior in the multimodal knowledge network. More specifically, our research question is: How do task characteristics, knowledge characteristics and individual characteristics influence knowledge workers' channel preferences during their knowledge sourcing activities?We built a knowledge sourcing preference model which predicts knowledge workers' preferences among various knowledge channels. We identified eight important antecedents from a wide spectrum of task characteristics, knowledge characteristics, and individual characteristics. We also identified three representative knowledge sourcing channels: face-to-face communication with colleagues, knowledge repositories, and discussion forums. We developed eight hypotheses on how each of the antecedent influence channel preferences.We tested our hypotheses through a survey we conducted in an international information technology company. Out of the eight hypotheses, the hypotheses on the influences from knowledge codifiability, knowledge volatility, extroversion/introversion dimension of the personality, and reciprocation wariness are supported. The hypotheses on the influences from task interdependency and task urgency are partially supported. The hypotheses on the influences from task routineness and expertise are not supported.This study furthers our understanding of knowledge workers' knowledge sourcing behavior in a multimodal knowledge network. The results of this study help organizations understand the advantages and disadvantages of various sourcing channels under certain circumstance of tasks, knowledge, and individuals. With this understanding, organizations will be able to have reasonable expectations on the utilization of knowledge transfer approaches, and to improve the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer initiatives. This will enable the organizations to cultivate environments or design systems to develop the types of channels to accommodate the preferences of knowledge workers with various combinations of tasks, knowledge and individual characteristics.

Multiscale Modeling of Human Addiction: a Computational Hypothesis for Allostasis and HealingLevy, Yariv Z. 01 February 2013 (has links)
This dissertation presents a computational multiscale framework for predicting behavioral tendencies related to human addiction. The research encompasses three main contributions. The first contribution presents a formal, heuristic, and exploratory framework to conduct interdisciplinary investigations about the neuropsychological, cognitive, behavioral, and recovery constituents of addiction. The second contribution proposes a computational framework to account for real-life recoveries that are not dependent on pharmaceutical, clinical, and counseling support. This exploration relies upon a combination of current biological beliefs together with unorthodox rehabilitation practices, such as meditation, and proposes a conjecture regarding possible cognitive mechanisms involved in the recovery process. Further elaboration of this investigation leads on to the third contribution, which introduces a computational hypothesis for exploring the allostatic theory of addiction. A person engaging in drug consumption is likely to encounter mood deterioration and eventually to suffer the loss of a reasonable functional state (e.g., experience depression). The allostatic theory describes how the consumption of abusive substances modifies the brain's reward system by means of two mechanisms which aim to viably maintain the functional state of an addict. The first mechanism is initiated in the reward system itself, whereas the second might originate in the endocrine system or elsewhere. The proposed computational hypothesis indicates that the first mechanism can explain the functional stabilization of the addict, whereas the second mechanism is a candidate for a source of possible recovery.
The formal arguments presented in this dissertation are illustrated by simulations which delineate archetypal patterns of human behavior toward drug consumption: escalation of use and influence of conventional and alternative rehabilitation treatments. Results obtained from this computational framework encourage an integrative approach to drug rehabilitation therapies which combine conventional therapies with alternative practices to achieve higher rates of consumption cessation and lower rates of relapse.

Modelo de orientação aos tilapicultores em tanques-rede: o conhecimento modelado pelo método EKD / Model of orientation for tilapia breeders EKD in cage ponds: knowledge modeled by EKD methodOstanel, Carlos Eduardo 01 March 2011 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo principal desenvolver um modelo de orientação, que norteie os tilapicultores a respeito das boas práticas de produção em tanques-rede indicadas pela FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) e pela literatura acadêmica, a fim de eliminar a ausência do conhecimento, fator considerado limitador para o desenvolvimento da aquicultura. Para tanto, foi aplicado um estudo qualitativo segregado em duas fases. Na primeira, o tipo de estudo adotado foi exploratório. Essa fase foi composta por três etapas: revisão da literatura e FAO, elaboração do modelo de orientação, de acordo com o método EKD (Enterprise Knowledge Development), e elaboração do questionário. Já na segunda fase foi combinada a pesquisa de observação com o estudo descritivo. Foram realizadas duas etapas: visitas de observação, com a aplicação do questionário, e validação do modelo de orientação. Encerrada a segunda fase, a modelagem foi concluída. O modelo de orientação possibilitou a análise da tilapicultura de modo sistêmico, gerando um repositório de conhecimento, o qual permite que a cultura seja compreendida, debatida e melhorada, tornando-se um guia aos tilapicultores que desejam adequar-se ao objetivo sustentável. Dessa maneira, as tilapiculturas poderão reduzir a lacuna existente entre a teoria e a prática e eliminar a ausência do conhecimento. / This article aims at the development of an orientation model to guide tilapia breeders towards good practices of breeding in cage ponds recommended by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and academic literature in order to eliminate the lack of knowledge, which is considered a limiting factor in the development of aquaculture. A qualitative study divided into two phases was conducted. In the first phase the study was exploratory and comprised three stages: review of the literature and FAO, elaboration of an orientation model and FAO, elaboration of an orientation model according to EKD (Enterprise Knowledge Development) method, and elaboration of a questionnaire. The second phase comprehended the observation research and descriptive study, both developed in two stages: observation visits, with the application of the questionnaire, and validation of the orientation model. The modeling was finished after concluding the second phase. The orientation model enabled a systemic analyses of the tilapia breeding, generating a knowledge repository that allowed the culture to be understood, debated and improved. Such a model can seen as a guide to tilapia breeders that intend to fit the sustainable goal. Therefore tilapia cultures can reduce the existing gap between theory and practice as well as eliminate the lack of knowledge.

行動學習設計與知識庫 / An Exploratory Design of m-Learning with Knowledge Repository林昱 Unknown Date (has links)
在邁入知識經濟的現今社會中,企業的生產要素已轉變為以知識為基礎,而學習正是知識經濟時代增加企業競爭力的最佳利器。隨著科技的發展,線上學習(e-Learning)不論在傳統公司或電子化企業中已扮演著重要不可或缺的角色。線上學習的獨特性不但可使教育訓練的成本降低,更可以配合企業的全球化運作,這些優點吸引了許多公司開始規劃線上訓練。但由於目前線上學習多採用Web(World Wide Web)介面並且必須與網際網路連接,所以有發展上的限制且缺乏行動性。因此本研究將應用行動科技結合學習科技來克服這個問題。
本研究希望建構一行動學習設計並且整合知識庫,使得知識學習的來源不再僅侷限於學習教材,更能包含整個組織的知識。另外也設計一搜尋機制希望藉此能有效率地執行行動搜尋。 / In knowledge economy, the key factor of production is knowledge. Learning will be the best effective tool to increase the competitiveness in the knowledge-based economy. With the development of Information Technology, Electronic Learning (e-Learning) becomes important, indispensable in traditional business, and e-business. e-Learning with unique characteristics lowers training costs and makes organizational learning global. These benefits catch the attentions of the company to pursue e-Learning. However, the problem that e-Learning has to be Web-enabled (World Wide Web enabled) and Internet-based creates a technical and managerial barrier limits its development and lack the mobility. In our research, we aim to apply Mobile Technology with Learning Technology to overcome this problem.
Our research focuses on the design of a mobile learning (m-Learning) model that supports learning anywhere, anytime and any form. Beside, we develop an approach to integrate with knowledge repository. The learning scope will not be limited to instructional courseware. It includes organizational knowledge. The search assistant helps user to access relevant information with minimal effort and reduce the amount of information that needs to be transmitted.
