Knowledge structuring process for managing business processes
Knowledge structuring is achieved through a series of processes, from authorship by the producer, through conversion and translation, to distribution to consumers, and through processes that manage the results and work processes.
If you're completely unfamiliar with the knowledge structuring process and how to implement it, we'll provide an overview of the process's overall approach and the characteristics of each work step, as well as help you organize and design key issues for each work step based on your actual business needs.
1. Authoring
Authoring is the beginning of knowledge creation. Being able to create structured and standardized documents from the outset allows for incomparably diverse uses and efficient management.
However, changing everything you've been doing all at once isn't feasible, nor is it desirable. Based on our extensive project experience, we analyze your needs and guide you through effective authoring methods that can be implemented gradually but quickly.

2. Translation
Launching products into global markets requires manuals written in the languages of local consumers. Furthermore, strengthening quality certification systems necessitate the translation of product design documents and specifications.
Machine translation is helping to make this easier. However, the risk of product information being leaked externally during the process is often overlooked. Furthermore, it still cannot guarantee quality on par with human translation.
So, is there a way to consistently improve translation quality while maintaining security? Drawing on our experience implementing leading global on-premise translation solutions, we can offer an alternative.
- Analysis and establishment of an efficient translation work process
- Proposal of a methodology for managing and utilizing translation memory.
- Establishing a translation glossary and style guide
3. Distribution and Management
While written documents are typically published in the form of traditional paper books, producing them separately in simplified and full versions to enhance the convenience of document consumers is now increasingly seen as a key initiative by many businesses to increase customer satisfaction.
Moreover, the need for consumers to access necessary documents anytime, anywhere, on various electronic media, including smartphones, tablets, and even cars, is now a given.
It may seem like a simple task, but creating and distributing documents with countless combinations of text, images, information, and layouts in the desired format, and continuously updating and maintaining them without errors, is no easy task.
We can't promise a perfect solution the first time. However, we can help you save time and money by reducing trial and error through the following :
- Establishing a company-wide content management strategy
- One source, multi-use publishing
- Editing automation to minimize human error
- Efficient identification and management of common content
