Abstract

In this paper, techniques of human driven knowledge acquisition are briefly discussed and compared, then a case study of implementing knowledge acquisition (KA) in an Iranian petrochemical company is explained. In this project we´ve used a combination of KA techniques including semi structured interview, revised teach-back, commentary, laddering, repertory grid techniques in order to elicit both tacit and explicit knowledge of experts. This method is applicable in different kinds of industries with different branches in design engineering.
