Integration of Knowledge Management in Product Design Process

In order to keep up with the high adaptability of the product design requirements, it is essential to integrate knowledge management into product design processes. This paper proposes a model that conjoins the objects, functions, constraints and knowledge, analyzes the task evolution process by means of state characterization. By using the schema based on the model, it is practical and efficient to find appropriate knowledge to a given general object in the context of certain constraints.
