Abstract

This paper compares the strategy towards in-service support from contrasting sectors of industry, describing two case studies of companies developing complex products and servicing them throughout their lifecycle. The analysis of the cases focuses upon how knowledge generated during in-service support was reused within the service phase in terms of : (1) the process that led to the identification or to the validation of a solution; (2) the solution itself.

Keywords: service, knowledge management, procedural knowledge, aerospace industry, oil industry
