Abstract

This paper explores Computer-Aided Design (CAD) design technology from the stand-point of managers and executives. The capabilities and benefits of CAD are discussed in terms of how CAD can assist companies in becoming more product and cost competitive. Related papers in the literature are surveyed connected to the problems with CAD and the difficulty in implementing a new CAD system. The overall intent of the paper is to provide an executive level discussion on why and how CAD systems can be utilised most effectively.
