Greetings!
The engineering field is truly one of the most
important and influential professions in existence -
affecting basically everything we touch. Machine Design magazine takes
an interesting step back and looks at the evolution the
engineering profession has gone through in the last
80 years.
The time for change is now for the automotive
industry, as The Big Three face a major
crossroads in
the way their businesses are structured. Despite the
economic challenges, they now have a new
opportunity to be a player in the impending global
transformation, as summarized by
Managing Automation.
As many shops are trying to do more with less, it is
critical to ensure that your staff is properly skilled
and
trained in all business areas - including CAD.
Simple tools or tests can help gauge skill-level,
and
training is always available. Rather than viewing
training as a nice-to-have add-on, companies should
realize it is not less important than the actual software
purchase. What good are even the best of tools if not
used optimally and efficiently?
The businesses that will survive in this market are
those that have a devotion to innovation and
invest in
technology. American Trim, LLC is one such
company that is taking many strides in the right
direction.
See what they're doing and how it makes a
difference.
Enjoy the issue,
Lisa Sterling
Director of Marketing
Cimatron Technologies, Inc.
