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…
