Industry Information Practices and the Failure to Remember,

Abstract

Successful commercialization of new technologies requires good communications and information flow among different corporate functions. Good communication means bringing the multiple, and sometimes conflicting, perspectives from Research and Development, engineering, operations, and management to bear on the project. These groups can share information and experiences. At least as important, information obtained from previous efforts should be shared, 'Lessons learned' from the operation of pilot plants to the startup of pioneer commercial plants need to be remembered.
