Abstract: Considering that the market is always asking more and more complex and customised products, but that at the same time it is necessary to maintain under control cost and time, enterprises have to find appropriate methodologies and tools able to support their knowledge sharing for exploiting as best as possible all the experiences and to focus all the efforts on the development of the product innovative aspects. To reach this aim, it is necessary to introduce in the product lifecycle management approaches appropriate methodologies for supporting knowledge formalised during the product development process, in order to store the company expertise in a comprehensible, accessible and simple way and to support its retrieve by any other could be interested in. This paper deals with proposing a methodology for knowledge reuse during the product 'concept' phase, working on customer requirements, product specification and semantic strategies. The proposed methodology has been experimented inside a students' race team, supporting the development of the new version of the their vehicle.
