Do you encourage or enforce CAD Standards?

1. Do you encourage or enforce CAD Standards? • Or do you forcibly encourage? • Or do you encourage forcibly?

2. How do you monitor CAD Standard adherence? • Regular QA Checks – on CAD Information and a “duty of care” check on the finished drawing. • Technical Highlights – Explaining additions to the Standards and showing the users what is checked and more importantly why.

3. What is checked? • Issued information • Sometimes we will be asked to “spot check” a complete project • Occasionally we will review a team or office across the board • Randomly select an issue from ISSUES folder • An issue that has been created in the previous month • If none can be found, the Issue Sheets are reviewed

Why standardise? “To define the use of CAD to enable the company to benefit both in terms of drawing production efficiency and in terms of management and exchange of data” CSM 1.2.1 • It’s part of our ISO accreditation • To make sure anyone can work on any project • To reduce risk • To safeguard our profitability • To reduce time spent thinking about CAD • To increase time spent thinking about design

9. Make the CAD Standards more accessible • Available from: • TECHNICAL > CAD > CAD Standard Manual • whitbybird > CAD Standard v4.2
