Creating Global Engineering Practices

摘要

Many large companies do not yet have a company-wide engineering process. Some are standardizing to only one CAD/CAM/CAE or other computerized engineering system. Others are striving for consistency between their internationally located engineering groups. These corporate efforts continue despite ongoing global merger and acquisition activities. Each merger and acquisition creates new challenges in standardizing company-wide engineering processes. In the face of many obstacles, these efforts to standardize intracompany engineering processes are under way.
