A knowledge resource acquisition system for the product life cycle

The key competitiveness of an enterprise largely depends on the knowledge resources. However, traditional enterprises still pay more attention to the material and labor resources. Even in some large famous enterprises, the knowledge resources are still fragmented and distributed in the various project files. If these valuable knowledge resources can be accumulated and managed effectively, they will serve as the fixed assets of the enterprises. Therefore, a knowledge resource acquisition system was proposed for the product life cycle in this paper. To illustrate the feasibility of this proposed system, an internal combustion engine power unit was analyzed as a study case.
