Saving Time in CAD Design
Did you know that engineers spend, on average, about a day a week on non-value-added data management tasks? That’s a lot of time spent on design data management that could be spent on driving product innovation and performance. That NVA time has a big business impact as well, including missed design deadlines that can delay…
The Game of Avoiding Wasted Time in CAD Design
Our research shows that engineers spend a significant percentage of their time, almost a day a week, on non-value-added data management activities such as finding information, working with the wrong data, recreating data, translating formats, and other common time wasting tasks. These time wasters cause them to miss deadlines, develop products with higher costs, miss…
