Success Stories

Planning and Scheduling Systems. For numerous U.S. Air Force Air Logistics Centers, we delivered an $8 million/year reduction by providing tools, consulting, and software development services to plan and schedule Programmed Depot Maintenance and remanufacture and reverse engineer technical data integration into data warehouses.

BPR Research and Method Development. Many leading Fortune 500 companies and government organizations use the KBSI-developed, IDEF3 Process Description Capture Method as their primary tool for Business Process Reengineering (BPR).

Manufacturing Systems Analysis and Design. For a consortium of major U.S. semiconductor manufacturers, we provided tools to model, design, and optimize manufacturing processes using structured analysis and process simulation. We also developed advanced system to capture expert knowledge for design-to-cost analyses.

Process Reengineering and Systems Development. For an industrial valve and instrumentation remanufacturer, we established an information system that seamlessly integrates the different stages of the valve repair process, ultimately resulting in instantaneous response time to customer requests and a 50% reduction in administrative cycle time.

Data Management Solutions. For the U.S. Air Force, a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based solution was provided for effectively accessing, manipulating, and managing distributed engineering and management data.

Customized Software Development. For an international telecommunications /information systems company, we designed and developed a cost modeling tool to support cost estimation for data warehousing projects.

Expert Systems Development. A major American automotive company uses several KBSI-developed expert systems for automotive cooling system design and air conditioning system design.

For more than a decade, the people at Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) have helped clients successfully improve their enterprises by providing the right combination of tools, methodologies, and support at each phase of their project.
