This paper presents a method to capture and formalize engineering knowledge and a set of software applications for 'knowledge-based engineering (KBE), including product data management, design processes management, design documents management and automatic rule-based geometry generation. The aim of these tools is to solve the main problems that are facing machinery companies regarding design knowledge: the long learning process for new employees, loss of collective knowledge and experience, poor management of engineering knowledge and lack of agreed company standards and procedures for design.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1080/09511920500069457Knowledge managementMachine tool designProduct data managementMechanical EngineeringComputer Science ApplicationsIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=31444457069&partnerID=8YFLogxK
