    Sign of the times: manufacturing and e-business blend as a digital enterprise

    Toole, Pat. Design Engineering. Toronto: Aug/Sep 2000. Vol. 46, Iss. 8; pg. 12

    Abstract (Summary)

    What is it? Certainly, e-business is more than just buying or selling over the Internet. It's all about exploiting the combined power of the Internet and information technology to fundamentally transform key business strategies and processes. For manufacturers, this means becoming a true digital enterprise--using CAD/CAM/CAE, VPDM (virtual product data modelling), PDM (product data management), ERP (enterprise resource planning), communications--and other digital technologies--to conceive of, design, build, market and sell the most innovative, highest quality, most attractive products to its customers.

    Competitive advantage is defined by a company's ability to continually conceive, design, build, sell and service the most innovative, highest quality, most attractive products to its customers. Competitive advantage in the digital economy requires that the product development process itself become a competitive weapon. It requires that manufacturers leverage their organizational knowledge and collaborate without boundaries--become a digital enterprise.

    Manufacturing using CAD systems generates a tremendous amount of digital information. What is needed are new solutions that help to manage the complex relationships and dependencies this information creates, the vital knowledge which remains buried in a company's CAD files and other related files--everything from best design practices, product performance characteristics and product maintainability. The true digital enterprise does precisely this--leveraging the intellectual capital embedded in people, systems and processes the same way that it optimally uses plants, equipment, inventory and capital.

    Yes you do post comments on here but it has been made very difficult because there are two groups but just ignore that and post here.
