A method and system for facilitating resolution of engineering and business issues
is provided which comprises an issue component for identifying the issues to be
resolved, an inquiry component for facilitating collection of client information
relevant to the issue component to facilitate definition of the issue component,
a knowledge base comprising data and information for facilitating assessment of
the client information; and a solution base for compiling assessments and recommendations
from the knowledge base and for reporting the assessments and recommendations to
a client. In addition, the system can include a network for communicating the client
information to the knowledge base and for communicating the assessments and recommendations
to the client. The knowledge base comprises an artificial intelligence engine for
assessing the client information, wherein the artificial intelligence engine is
configured for comparing the new issue with an existing issue within a database
to determine if similar, and thus provide a recommendation associated with the
existing issue, and for breaking down the new issue into smaller components for
further comparison if the existing issue is not similar to the new issue to thus
provide a suggestion associated with said smaller components. As a result, an optimal
set of suggestions and recommendations can be provided for a given engineering
or business issue or problem. In addition, in accordance with another aspect of
the present invention, the above method can be further broken down into smaller
elements and sub-elements to provide a more detailed analysis. In addition, the
method and system can be suitably utilized to resolve various ergonomic engineering issues.
