Managing an engineering and design team is no easy feat. With countless moving parts, keeping everything in check and fully understanding the workflow can seem nearly impossible. While tools like SolidWorks PDM can help streamline data management, lingering questions often remain. Questions such as, “How long do files take to get approved?” or “How often must we remind the team to check in their work?” can be left unanswered. Furthermore, visibility into whose work is frequently rejected is scarce. While you might extract this information by running exhaustive PDM searches, turning this data into meaningful insights in real-time is a different challenge altogether.
