CAD: wanted but not understood

Abstract

Considers an EITB report which suggests that although British industry is buying CAD, it is not exploiting the advantages to the full. Highlights the suggestion with a case study of a British handling equipment manufacturer which first bought a CAD system in 1979 and has failed to implement a thorough strategy to benefit from it. Surmises that the main barriers to effective Cad use are the divide between resource allocators and change managers, and a serious lack of commitment to CAD training.
