Malcolm Crowe Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) My original Engineering and Operational Management background was within high-speed Manufacturing Operations (24 hours per day, 6 days per week, and speeds up to 1,000 parts per minute). As a result, I have a very good understanding of the ingredients necessary to maximize “Productivity”. When consulting for new manufacturing clients, one of the typical questions that senior management ask is what new Plant and Machinery they need to invest in to “Increase Productivity”. More often than not, the missing ingredient that they need to invest in is “Training (Learning)” of their staff. The same is true regarding CAD productivity. The CAD software that you use is only one of the ingredients. The value of investing in expensive CAD software, add-ons, or upgrades, is greatly reduced if you don’t invest in learning how to use the capabilities they offer. You may as well have invested in far less expensive software better matched to your level of understanding and usage. So, if you've chosen to be in the design business, chosen to invest in the Hardware and the Software required, then “Choose to Invest in Training (Learning)” as well. You'll become a lot more "Productive" as a result. Malcolm Edited April 2, 2023 by Malcolm Crowe 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
