Expert Systems

Effective knowledge management applies and automates standards. When you begin to use standards—best practices that are consistently and accurately applied from customer to customer—your productivity and quality increase while using fewer hours. Why? Because standards let you apply the sum total of your organization's knowledge and expertise rather than just the expertise of one or two individuals.

Standards promote quality and productivity

Automating and applying standards frees your team to focus on core development and customer satisfaction, which results in increased quality. This approach has been proven in both commercial and government organizations. For example, one expert system project performed by KSS personnel reduced design time from 44,000 to 4,000 hours—over a 90% decrease in project hours. A standard that isn't automated isn't a standard.As a result of implementing this expert system (which automated design standards), project rework went from over 5% of the average cost of a project to less than 0.25%.

Our skilled engineering team can work with you to identify and capture standards, program the rules that automate those standards, document the process, and certify the results.
