KBE and Product Lifecycle Management
The scope of PLM involves all the steps that exist within any industry that produces goods. KBE at this level will deal with product issues of a more generic nature than it will with CAx. Some might call this level 'assembly' in orientation. However, it's much more than that as PLM covers both the technical and the business side of a product.
KBE then needs to support the decision processes involved with configuration, trades, control, management, and a number of other areas, such as optimization.

“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
