The Fluke Corporation is a fast growing company with many factories, each of which have their own reporting methods and terminology used in daily work and reporting. This siloed environment has caused inefficiencies for employees who frequently rotate assignments to different areas of the business.

The Fluke Taxonomy Project was initiated to define taxonomy for the Fluke Operations function and develop a taxonomy template for other functions within Fluke to use. The goal of the taxonomy is to drive toward a common language that would help better unify the corporation. The taxonomy would also serve as a structural taxonomy in terms of development of a common reporting and information management portal. The project identified many recommendations to make Fluke more efficient.
