Abstract

Due to the changes in global markets, companies strive for attracting and retaining customers in various ways. The paper investigates the problem of product configuration knowledge management in a customer-oriented way and how it has been solved. The authors’ vision of required improvements in business processes and knowledge-based systems at the considered company is shared. Nevertheless, the presented work can give significant input to achieve benefits for component manufacturers that tend to become system vendors in general.
