SINGAPORE, February 15, 2021 –––

The Loss of Knowledge through Time

According to statistical reports, approximately 80 million of the workforce are due to retire over the next 15 years in the US alone. As these workers begin to tender their resignations, they will leave a noticeable difference. It will be hard to replace the specialized skills, knowledge, and on-the-job expertise accumulated over decades. Thus, organizations will face a knowledge and skills deficit if they do not take steps to prevent it.

Method of Knowledge Transfer

When an issue onboard has been resolved, the knowledge of vessels and their equipment from superintendents or experienced crew are often not recorded and lost with time. With key information spreading across various emails and files, it can be hard to keep track of everything you need to get work done.

Finding the right service report or having the right institutional knowledge is key to resolving issues faster and smarter. To ensure accurate and reliable details, you need an environment where you can work with the right information and resources ––– exactly when you need them. 

Gotrix allows users to access these information in a timely and convenient manner. You can easily save conversations or files you often reference so that they’re easy to access. Therefore, your predecessors can record and document the “better” practices they have been improvising through the years so that others can learn from them.

Knowledge can now be transferred seamlessly from superintendent to engineer to crew members, optimising overall work productivity.
