Re: NO MORE DRAWINGS


....
Everyone,
I am currently working on a project to eliminate or reduce the
amount of drawings we do and send to the shop.

Just my 2 cents here, but I have seen a lot of shops go through this
process-and then back (if they manage to stay in business). The shops I work
with that are REALLY kicking *** send more drawings-not less to the shop.
They don't make detail drawings for anything that will be handled by the cnc
mills, but they do detail everything else because they have found that work
goes through the shop much faster if the machinist doesn't have to spend his
time querying the model every time he wants to make a cut. Engineering
intensive is the way to go IMHO. Get the guy off his *** and away from the
computer and standing at his machine making chips.

YMMV.
