Tacit Knolwedge Acquisition in Advanced Manufacturing
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerTacit knowledge (TN) is a kind of knowledge that is developed through repetition. Due to the inherent difficulty of acquiring TN in a timely manner, many manufacturing occupations struggle to fulfill positions with employees possessing the proper knowledge. Welding was selected as a case study. Via interviewing local welding shops, our team determined the variables important to a good weld and designed a teaching system that is used to accelerate the acquisition of welding TN. The concept of providing real time feedback can be extrapolated to several other areas of manufacturing.
