Rules-based knowledge management repositories are also pervasively used for managing telecommunications routing and the optimization of networks globally. Contrasting this type of knowledge management repository are those that seek to unify structured and unstructured content into a single, cohesive expert system (Koutsantonis, Panayiotopoulos, 2011). These types of knowledge management repositories are critical for managing highly complex networks of suppliers, partners and value chain throughout enterprises (Liao, Chuang, To, 2011). An example of how effective an expert system based on knowledge management repositories is the Toyota Production System (TPS) (Dyer, Nobeoka, 2000). The TPS has been very effective as a knowledge management repository at the supply chain level as it has helped the company transform knowledge into a competitive asset (Dyer, Nobeoka, 2000). Conclusion

Knowledge modeling and its implications on decision making have been well quantified...

The contribution of the many forms of knowledge management repositories show the potential to transform knowledge into a competitive asset (Dyer, Nobeoka, 2000).
