Poorly written work instructions, standard operating procedures, incorrect drawings and blueprints, improperly constructed fixtures, inappropriate production equipment, and poorly designed work station layout are just a few examples which contribute to human error. These poorly written documentations add addition trouble that could've been avoided. It is not unheard of to find components being fabricated according to out of date instructions because the correct information has been delayed in reaching the worker. Poor design and documentation quality is a major cause of product process inefficiencies, leading directly to delays, rework and variations, and contributing to increase project time and cost, for both the client and your company. But, proper documentation is not just restricted to engineering paperwork, no, it involves every person working in that company. Lets see how poor documentation can delay even the best companies.

CAD A.K.A Computer Aided Design is a highly sophisticated software for modeling engineering designs. CAD software offers many tools and features for modeling that weren’t available to our engineering predecessors. Even with the advancements in CAD, currently software developers are creating newer platforms that focus on user interface and performance.
Inefficiencies in CAD software still exist and can create a burden for engineers. Looking at what CAD software issues exist greatly increase your chances of recognizing and preparing designers in how to avoid them. This article will go into a few of the most common inefficiencies that exist in today’s CAD softwares and what you can do about them.
