Abstract: A knowledge asset management system and method is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a database and a processing unit. The database stores a first knowledge asset representation of at least one element, which is a stage or step of a manufacturing process. The processing unit receives at least one analysis target of a process flow, compares the analysis target with the element, and generates manufacturing knowledge including the first knowledge asset representation including domain expertise and manufacturing information for the process flow if the analysis target is the element. The database further stores a second knowledge asset representation of the element, and the processing unit further checks an exception rule, and replaces the first knowledge asset representation with the second knowledge asset representation if the analysis target and the second knowledge asset representation are designated by the exception rule.
