Management continually searches for ways to capture design knowledge, either from leading designers, or from successful designs. The benefits of capturing and being able to reuse such knowledge directly lead to huge productivity and quality improvements. This forms much of the basis for Lean Design. Current practices for capturing such design include both paper based methods as well as computer based methods. Many computer based methods such as rule based modeling, pseudo-programmatic methods for process capture, history based modeling, and various type of engineering notebooks have been tried over the years, but few have been generally adopted. This session will explore why this is the case and what alternatives might work in the future.
