Abstract |
MOCT(Ministry of Construction & Transportation) suggested “A Plan for Implementation of Knowledge-based Economy for the Construction Industry” to add high value to the construction industry by means of knowledge-based Management. However, there are no KMS(knowledge management systems) which consider characteristics in the domestic construction industry. So useful knowledge used to fade away as soon as a company terminates a construction project. Therefore, it is necessary to develop “An application method of a KMS for the construction industry” which takes the real environment into consideration.
To accomplish this objective, we analyzed the overall knowledge management activities. And we suggested an implementation direction of the KMS for the construction industry and an application method of KMS in the construction industry.
As results of this study, we presented an application method of a KMS to the construction industry, which is composed of policy forum, study forum, professional forum, research forum and knowledge & information DB. We expect that results of this study will be used as a basis of implementing the Knowledge Portal that brings the construction industry to high value added industries. |
