NAVSEA 05D Ship Design and Certification Network Knowledge Management Project
Abstract
Since the Center for Innovation in Ship Design (CISD) was established in 2002, its focus has been on knowledge, people, and innovation. Innovative ship design requires people with the proper training, education, and experience. It also requires the effective use of knowledge resources. The extent to which an organization performs well, will depend, among other things, on how effectively its people can create new knowledge, share knowledge around the organization, and use that knowledge to best effect. NAVSEA 05D recognized that effective knowledge management would help it achieve its overall strategy and goals. As a result, NAVSEA 05D funded CISD to work on a knowledge management project directed at their Ship Design and Certification Network (SDCN). Although it was realized that the resources available would limit the scope of the project, the intent was still to produce tangible results. The goal was to provide an effective way to find documents on the SDCN, an indication of a document's overall likelihood to contain reliable information, a method for personnel to provide feedback on the quality of any information in a document, and to ensure data files used for each design study remain unaltered and final design report. This report summarizes the work undertaken to achieve these goals.
