The Hidden Costs of Undocumented Workflows (and How to Fix Them)

May 20, 2025 Surya Nair

In engineering environments where CAD and PLM tools are mission-critical, poorly documented workflows can lead to confusion, errors, and wasted time. As projects scale and teams change, relying on informal know-how or people’s memory isn’t sustainable.

At Rand 3D, we’ve seen firsthand how clear process documentation:

  • Standardizes CAD and PLM workflows
  • Reduces rework and training time
  • Preserves critical engineering knowledge
  • Supports compliance and quality control

    Pro Tip: Start with your most-used or most error-prone processes. Documenting just a few key workflows can quickly improve consistency and boost productivity.
