Formed in late 1998, the Multinational Alliance for the Advancement of Organisational Excellence (MAAOE) sustains the vision of creating, disseminating, and applying knowledge relevant to the advancement of organizational excellence. MAAOE advances next-generation quality management characterized by multinational, multidisciplinary, and performance focused. Presently numbering over 300 individuals representing a diverse group of disciplinary backgrounds and representing more than 20 nations on 6 continents, the alliance's participant group is consistent with that vision. Supporting MAAOE visions are three strategic intentions, each with several supporting goals and objectives. This article investigates and establishes MAAOE's second strategic intention, that of the knowledge dissemination relevant to the advancement of organizational excellence.

Cracking was discovered in the openings of cargo deck tie down fittings on ships under construction. There was a distinct possibility that these cracks could propagate through the fittings and into the strength deck plating, affecting the ships hull integrity. With more than 14,000 fittings installed on each ship, the appearance of approximately 400 cracks at the mid-ship area of the main and lower decks raised production and operational concerns. This paper will discus the successful application of a Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) methodology employed by a Corrective Action Team (CAT) establish to solve the problem. Through their efforts and the systematic application of RCFA, various failure hypotheses were validated or discounted and consensus was achieved on the appropriate corrective action.

This paper intends to discuss the concepts of knowledge, information and data and their use on a Competitive Intelligence process. An information concept is presented and the information science influences on the way that it has been used, as so data gathering as internal expert service process support. A relationship between the Competitive Intelligence process approach and the use of the established resources for information process using electronic media is displayed. There is a difference among data, information and knowledge taking the reader up to the Competitive Intelligence and Knowledge management concepts found at current literature over this subject. A user connection to knowledge is described in order to make a distinction between the knowledge universe and the user universe, taking the recorded knowledge as a “bridge” connecting both universes. The knowledge universe access way is taken by the language that is in use, while at user universe is represented by the retrieval system that is adopted. A discussion over the frontiers and aspects of each universe is held, as well as the condition for inter-relationship, resulting in an idealistic representation for the user and knowledge relationship. Finally, this paper presents a few points that illustrate the Information science contributions for the Knowledge management process.
