Abstract It is a tough world out there, and one of the most important keys to survival is the ability to quickly and consistently bring new products to market. Successful companies differentiate themselves through the ability to use information technology (IT) to create market-grabbing products. And computer technologies such as CAD/CAM and product data management (PDM) can undoubtedly help, for those businesses that deploy them successfully. Reduced time to market, higher quality design, fewer `blind alleys' and avoidable errors, lower engineering costs, and higher engineering productivity are some of the benefits a company could achieve in a successful implementation of CAD/CAM tools.
