Primary design

Every drawing at the right revision, every comment answered, without chasing.

Your job is to get the right drawing and revision to the right people. We prepare the paperwork round it, and you approve it.

The work that gets in the way

An old revision reaches the wrong person

Checking and reissuing layouts or GAs takes time that should go into the design.

DNO comments lose their drawing reference

Matching comments back to the right revision means another search through the email.

Transmittals and review actions need chasing

Unanswered technical queries hold up the next issue.
