Replay Webinar About our Speaker

Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
  • Our CAD data quality is poor and erratic.
  • Our CAD models are inconsistently organized, making it difficult to integrate with downstream applications.
  • Our large product assemblies are poorly structured, making decoupled development error prone.
  • The lack of design reuse causes the duplication of parts and leads to inherent delays.
  • We find it difficult to change our product designs when necessary and often they must be entirely rebuilt.
  • Collaboration with our supply chain often loses sight of the latest data revision.
  • Our key corporate product knowledge does not get reused in new product designs.

“How do my Mechanical CAD practices compare to best-in-class? Where can I improve?” Often asked by engineers in today’s leading mechanical product design companies—most having worked at only a limited number of companies and lack a broad understanding of what is best-in-class across industry. Few feel confident in even defining the criteria they should measure. In today’s worldwide competitive market, best-in-class practices can dramatically improve a company’s product quality and delivery. This webinar discusses the measurements used by CIMdata to evaluate a company’s CAD maturity that have been developed over the years, working with numerous product design companies around the world. The session will focus on the seven strategic axes that CIMdata considers when determining an organization’s MCAD maturity level. Additionally, this webinar will identify some tactical methods that overlay the strategic levels that can help guide improvements.

What will I learn?
  • You will gain an understanding of the seven major axes to measure to determine MCAD maturity.
  • You will learn to categorize the levels of maturity for each strategic axis.
  • You will be able to identify design methods and data repositories that foster improvement.
Who should attend?

Product planners and managers, MCAD team leaders, senior-level MCAD users, product managers, or anyone else who wants to learn about how to measure MCAD maturity and is looking to improve their knowledge of this topic.

During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
