Abstract

Effective knowledge management in the Chemical Process Industry (CPI) is intimately linked with the level of development in collection, transfer, analysis, flow and absorption of data/information/knowledge and the implementation of decisions. The major contribution of these developments is towards making them operational in real time and with increased productivity. During recent years, CPI has experienced increased profitability due to the application of new IT developments. However, it needs to be appreciated that many of the IT norms have been routinely practised in CPI for many years based on contemporary knowledge and hardware systems. The World Wide Web along with developments in hardware and software systems is poised to integrate the enterprise both horizontally and vertically by making use of the Supply Chain Model (SCM), Plant Information Management System (PIMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other back-up systems to make the business cost effective. This paper gives highlights of developments in different aspects of knowledge management in the operation of CPI that are mainly attributable to strides made in information technology.
