Abstract
In the globalize economy the manufacturing industries it is essential to use knowledge management to increase the productivity with reducing the cost of manufacturing the goods. Competencies will increase through the learning to adopt the changes in the environment. Here in this paper an attempt has made through which a new model has designed to increase the productivity in the manufacturing industries. The four main screams of manufacturing are considered like design, production, distribution information and information technology to increase productivity of Indian manufacturing industries through the knowledge management.
I INTRODUCTION
With the changes arising to presence of globalization the manufacturing firms in India improve their competencies by adopting the changes in knowledge management (KM) for copentnce.KM consist of defining ,accessing ,organizing ,sharing through the knowledge will help the firm create, share and use knowledge efficiently. KM has another four process (1) creating the knowledge repositories to use knowledge easily;(2)Improving the access of knowledge and its transfer knowledge between individuals through sharing,(3)To provide conducive environment for knowledge creation, knowledge transformation and use,(4)managing the knowledge as asset and concern to increase effective use of assets over time (Davenport and Prusak 1998).
Gnunasekaran et al. (2007) have analyzed eight cases from industries and found that KM software companies are consistently using where as other service like education, healthcare and tourism provide wide scope for KM .Also find out that a limited research about KM in manufacturing KM in manufacturing could be used to increase the business performance through the productivity. A model is proposed main areas like design, production, distribution and information technology through KM how it is ensuing the business performance. A frame work for KM in manufacturing is presented in this paper.
Productivity is an integral part of performance .Hoehn (2003) identified productivity to be most crucial area for operational and process management i.e. .profitability, productivity, quality, quality of life, innovation, effectiveness and efficiency. Mie (2008) underlines the importance of productivity as main objective for performance management.
