Implementation of expert system in knowledge management in mechanical engineering enterprises

The paper presents the concept of an expert system supporting knowledge management. The rule-based expert system (RES) uses original, proprietary solutions: a self-organizing Horn clauses table, which simplifies editing and recording of knowledge bases as well as conversion and deduction expert spreadsheets - combining the possibilities of a spreadsheet (algebraic models) with forward deduction expert system, (logical models). The proposed system can be applied in early warning systems and risk management.
