Modelling Technique for Knowledge Management, Process Management and Method Application - a Formula Student Exploratory Study

Due to increasing product complexity, an exchange of knowledge between different areas is getting more important in multidisciplinary product development. Furthermore, another trend can be recognized, which points out that employees change their position more often in an organization. Both trends, multidisciplinarity and a higher fluctuation lead to the consequence that it is necessary to explicate and share knowledge. Therefore, knowledge management should take up a central role in the product development processes (PDPs). Thus, a PDP has to be considered as a socio-technical system, which is characterized not only by technical development, but also is represented as knowledge-intensive process.
