How to differentiate from Competition

Online, December 13, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Issues with working in 2D (AutoCAD)
In an increasingly competitive market, your customers can demand shorter lead times and reduced pricing, or can award their business to cheaper suppliers. You do not have the option of cutting corners in the design, manufacturing process to reduce prices and shorten lead times. In a vertical like Machine / Equipment development, where you do not have any option of building prototypes to evaluate your designs, you are under extreme pressures to not just build the equipment right but also do it within the delivery deadlines.
Making 2D drawings is an error prone method
2D drawings made on AutoCAD are not parametric
Strong visualization capabilities required to understand and make correct views
Cannot check mass properties, fitment, mechanisms in 2D
Making changes take lot of time
The drawings cannot be driven by relations between geometry and dimensions.
It takes lot of time to create 2D drawings.

How to differentiate from Competition
Bring new designs faster into the market
Design products with predictable performance, quality and life to avoid warranty work
Design products that are efficient
Develop modular products that can be easily upgraded to new technology
Standardize designs to produce new design faster by reusing existing designs
Quote more efficiently and accurately
Usual reasons for Project delays
Drawings not released on time
Manufacturing delays because of errors in drawings
Manufacturing guy could not understand the drawing clearly and made a mistake
Vendor supplied incorrect component since certain dimensions were missing
All the components are within tolerance but they still don't fit
Inability to source correct material quantity in time
Wrong revision released leading to production of wrong design
Engineer is absent, can't find where he has kept the required drawing
We made it as per the drawing but now this does not fit
