Knowledge transfer within the large manufacturing company

In the course of Initiation meeting with the large Manufacturing Companies on Knowledge Management Implementation, many issues came up during the meeting of the implementation committe. These were:
1. Knowledge transfer between the Workman's has never been the inherent culture of the organization.
2. The job rotation policy had never been seriosly applied.
3. The outflow of experienced employees is resulting into capacity loss to the organization.
4. The new means of Knowledge transfer technology like intranet, ICT tools and eNewsletter is not effective. (due to gap in computing facility made available to the employee.)
5. It has also been found that the computing facility is available only up to executive level and as these facility do not have means to capture the working or tacit knowledge of the supervisors.
6. The acquired knowledge by the supervisor from the Workman's and transfer amongst them or within the system is missing.
The immediate task to begin with is to conduct knowledge audit, Knowledge mapping and expert mapping followed be assessment and designing a KM solution for the organizations.
It also appears that larger the organization, more is the tendency of people to work in isolation with one another. (restricts knowledge flow).
The problem also appears with the organization structure which do not seem to align with vision, mission of the organizations.
