Abstract

Product configuration systems (PCS) are widely adopted because of their advantages in terms of time reduction, quality improvement and sales increase. However, the creation of a PCS often proves to be challenging, especially the acquisition of relevant knowledge. In this paper, we propose a shift from knowledge acquisition to knowledge articulation by the domain expert. A supporting toolset is developed. Our method reduces the overhead of translation and interpretation by the knowledge engineer. We demonstrate the method with a case study of an international manufacturer.
