This report will analyze a proposal on how Woodbridge Foam could become more

competitive through improvements in technology. This includes the saving of the

companies money, shortening the design time for new products, decreasing quoting

time and improving quality overall. By implementing a company wide CAD system,

which would be networked together with each customer and all plants, these

improvements could be achieved. Research will include interviewing various

employees as to how business is done and what influences the winning or loosing

of a contract. Research will also include study of both customer and

Project Scope & Current Evaluation Goals Supported by CAD Initiative:

In converting to a completely independent CAD system, there are a few aspects of

operation which would be greatly improved. The first of the improvements would

be the elimination of paper communication. The need to transfer large drawings

using mylars would cease to be, thus helping provide a paper less environment.

Another improvement as a result of CAD would be that of achieving much tighter

tolerances in building new products. Using a CAD system,
