Hi folks,
Typically (which is very sad...) more time when working with new development of engineering methods and practises might be used for convincing management/funding than just to actual development work... if you have experienced this, you propably also have faced following question:
"Please descripe what is Knowledge Based Engineering in one sentence" - my answer for that is:
"KBE is an engineering process that creates, maintains and distributes engineering templates and tools that are adaptive and contain embedded logic and company design knowledge"
...not really good... and I feel that I might be leaving something out; any proposals? how you have simplified a complex multi-discipline topic to one sentence that is really understandable?
BR,
Lasse

You are going to get some interesting replies from the knowledge gurus here soon! But remember guys, the Rule is "Just one sentence" And not a super-long one either!
Here is my go at it, given that the target audience is "Management" :
"KBE is... a thing you click and it does just what you were hoping it would!" |

My sentence for management, especially if you want to get funding is
"KBE provides an excellent PARADIGM SHIFT to LEAN our PROCESSES to result in a higher ROI yielding greater COST SAVINGS and a movement of our schedules to the LEFT.
My definiton one liner personally is "KBE is embedding enginneering decisions into your process," or to dumb it down, "Make the computer do work instead of the engineer." |

Hi,
Thanks guys, you show right attitude on this. 
Craig you have probaply have heard about game called "Bullsh*t-bingo";
1) you need a 5 by 5 table of phrases like "high ROI", "Streamlined process" etc.
2) Go to meeting
3) Listen to presentations... mark words you hear to your table...
4) When you get full line left to right, up to down or corner to corner in your table stand up and yell BULLS*IT at loud voice.

I was actually going to put BINGO! at the end of that line, but I figured that most people wouldn't have gotten it. ARGGGGHHHH! That's what I get for thinking, right?
You gotta admit though, the funds would be flowing in. You would have a team of 50 by next week.  |

One liner:
It's a method to help automate the engineering process by defining the engineering rules in the geometry and allowing them to adapt to the new circumstances. |

I like Ian's oneliner best...but Craig has a point with the buzzwords...
Seriously...my defintion for KBE is capturing engineering knowledge and techniques and applying it to the engineering design process with intelligent systems that allow the designer to focus more on what to design and less on how to design it.
Not so seriously: KBE is the design engineer's "Easy" button.
(unless of course you use Knowledgeware to implement KBE - in which case it would be the design engineer's "Just shoot me now" button)

You are going to get a lot of diverse opinions.
My sugessions is "why reinvent."
KBE has been around for a long time (10-15 years). There are many out there.
Why can't you choose a "one liner definition" -- "what someone else has published in literatures" and you have "liked it" -- over and above -- it fits your line of thinking.
As long as you cite it, you are free to quote it for your own use. Your company will appreciatce and value that more than what you would do by "creating/reinventing of your own."
This "citation" process has worked for me and is used by thousands of professional engineers and scientists around the world.
Hope this helps... |

For my colleagues KBE is;
"Half the number of engineers needed in Design and Manufacture whilst increasing productivity and improving quality"

Firstly, apolgies extended. I'm too young to resist.
Secondly, if anyone wants to discuss this, please use e-mail.
......... KBE is as KBE does. ..........

I knew you would not be able to resist, but I was expecting something deeper from you! :-)
My bosses dont know what KBE is (apart from 'K'eep 'B'uying/Bothering/Bashing 'E'ngineers) though.
But it sounds like it will cost them money. |
