Abstract: In the current milieu of ISO 9000 certification, just-in-time engineering (JIT), demand flow technology (DFT), and total quality management (TQM), industry is attempting to implement available technology for the creation, control, and delivery of documentation. In most cases, their efforts are in need of outside resources to analyze, develop, propose and implement usable solutions. This paper addresses the need for a graphic engineering system to distribute graphic products of computer-aided drafting (CAD); it reveals a single solution by outside contracted resources, to quantify, justify, create, and deliver three- dimensional modeling-based graphics into a systematic communication environment. Software and hardware delivery systems in graphic engineering are presented in support of communication instruments required for manufacturing and assembly processes. Examples are presented, with supporting data, as evidence of the value that a simplified graphics system approach has on visual literacy in industry. (Author/AEF)
