Time Wasters

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…

Non-value-added time in CAD Design

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…

PDM/PLM User Satisfaction Survey

PDM/PLM Satisfaction Survey – Status Quo is Satisfactory but Needs are Changing shares the results of a survey of over 500 PLM users exploring their satisfaction with their Product Data Management (PDM) and/or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems. The report conveys the perspectives of a large number of PLM users ranging in seniority, position, and industry. The study…

Should we define PLM as an Engineering Decision-making Framework?

A quick peek into some research on Improving Engineering Decision-making with PLM from a recent Tech-Clarity report. The report discusses how manufacturers can improve products (and profits) by enabling engineers and product developers to make better decisions. Is this a new way to define PLM? Perhaps this gets to the fundamental problem PLM solves? At…
