The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediator role that knowledge sharing plays between organisational culture, organisational structure, and technology infrastructure and process improvement in a knowledge management context in manufacturing enterprises operating in the food, beverage and textile industry. Design/methodology/approach An empirical study is conducted with a sample of 200 food, beverage and textile companies. Data are obtained by means of a survey questionnaire applied to general managers in each of the sample firms. The impact of the factors organisational culture, organisational structure and technology infrastructure on process improvement via knowledge sharing is assessed. Structural equation modelling and maximum likelihood estimation are applied to find the direction and strength of the relationships. Findings The main findings indicate the significant relationships between knowledge sharing and process improvement, between organisational culture and knowledge sharing, and between organisational structure and knowledge sharing. The relationship between technology infrastructure and knowledge sharing is found not to be significant. Research limitations/implications The findings of the present study are limited to the food, beverage and textile industry. Future research could incorporate data from other manufacturing sectors or service companies. Practical implications This study provides practical guidance for general managers who wish to implement process improvement programmes. Originality/value Several authors have noted that there are few research studies concerning the interaction between each phase of knowledge management and total quality management practices. This study is interested in knowledge sharing and its impact on process improvement in a knowledge management context.

Ontological Modeling

This paper describes an ontology-driven framework for developing distributed simulation modeling of construction processes. The research described in the paper is motivated by the necessity of knowledge sharing between distributed simulation modeling collaborators, and reuse and portability challenges in construction simulation models. Our approach addresses these challenges through ontological modeling and linking of construction simulation modeling components including (i) ontology of construction process, (ii) ontology of simulation world view, and (iii) ontology of distributed simulation modeling application tool. Within the paper, ontology driven approach and mapping of ontologies for information transference between simulation components has been described. Another discussed application of ontologies is structuring of simulation modeling development through use of reusable elements. A large-scale distributed simulation model of industrial construction processes has been outlined to illustrate the application of the approach.
