Presented will be a process-oriented knowledge and planning system for a structured depositing and locating of findings along manufacturing processes for component distortion. In the focus of this article are the reasons for the chosen structure and the presentation of the model for implementation of this system. It is shown that the findings must be seen first in connection with a process chain. A further evaluation of the findings will show that information can then be generalized to sub-process chains. The findings can be accessed from a knowledge perspective to be a basis of new experiments, but also be used for archiving of knowledge. The planning view for example is suitable to help a planner to set up a process plan. The system is designed in a way that it can be easily extended by new findings. Concluding, the functioning of the system will be illustrated by two practical examples.
