Wayne's World Commentary

We provide here a number of thought provoking (maybe provocative?) tidbits, philosophies, and technical reflections about the implementation of CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM and Enterprise Engineering. Please feel free to browse, and most importantly, to provide your feedback.

bullet

Selling to the Enterprise... companies with instigators and champions who stand up to sell and deliver the benefits of enterprise-wide product development will be the market leaders of tomorrow.

bullet

Killing Me Softly... we find it difficult and risky to overcome the inertia of our age-old engineering systems and processes. But the truth of the matter is that the status quo may indeed be the riskiest path – and change may be your competitive salvation.

bullet

The Enterprise is Coming!... as your CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM implementation delivers increasingly more strategic benefits to your company — the more important it will be to connect your efforts with other elements of the enterprise... ERP, PDM, and Visual Collaboration.

bullet

Getting Your Management Involved... how to convince the powers that be how to move forward with vigor.

bullet

Let's Get Serious about Simulation!… are your really leveraging the power of simulation to impact development of your mechanical products?

bullet

Oh, Say, Can You See?… let's get serious about making 3D solid models the backbone of your entire product development process.

bullet

Find Each Bottleneck... and Then Ask Why? Why? Why?!how to aggressively search out areas for process improvement.

bullet

Converting Inertia into Momentum… if you don’t improve the process by which you develop mechanical products, then simply put, your competition will eat your lunch and have your profits for dessert!

bullet

Assuring Successful CAD/CAM/CAE Implementations... how is it that two companies can select the same technology tools... and then one company goes on to deliver impressive business benefits and the other falls prey again to the CAD/CAM "black hole"?

A 35-year veteran of the computer-aided design, engineering and product lifecycle marketplace, Wayne McClelland is well-known as an energetic pioneer in the development and implementation of technologies for structural dynamics, finite element analysis, 3D solid modeling, and workgroup data management.  Wayne can be reached at waynemcc@wamware.com or www.wamware.com/wam.
