Two components are shown under engineering in Figure 14.2: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE). Because of their close relationships to each other, it is not uncommon to talk about CAD/CAE as a single element. The objectives of CAD/CAE are to:
- Improve design productivity
- Reduce design lead time
- Enhance design quality
- Facilitate access to and storage of product designs
- Make the design of multiple products more efficient by eliminating redundant design effort
- Execute design changes almost immediately through the use of electronic messaging to notify the shop floor
