This book emphasizes the importance of consistent, well-planned, and computer-oriented engineering documentation systems to engineering, manufacturing, and accounting. It discusses the systems needed to optimize flow of information and increase the efficiency of modern CAD/CAM systems.

This book identifies as many "alligators" as possible in the swamps surrounding implementation of an integrated CAD/CAM system. It is helpful for marketing managers, inventory control supervisors and innovators who believe in the need to modernize engineering and manufacturing systems.
