A Microsoft Project was then created by the Program Manager who uploaded the drawing and preliminary information. An Applications Engineer was then tasked with performing the Application Feasibility.<\/p>\n<p>Bushing material and optimal design, if needed, was recommended based on the application information. The AE also ensured that the provided drawing contained adequate information to fully manufacture the bushing. If needed, the drawing was marked up to reflect the recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>After the AE Feasibility, the drawing went through manufacturing, quality, and planning feasibility. The last step of the process was costing which was completed by the Program Manager. The bushing was costed and the pricing was then provided to the Account Manager for mark up. Once this was completed the price was then submitted to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h2><strong>What are the Benefits of Using DriveWorks for You and Your Customers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.driveworks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/oiles-bearings-with-border.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.driveworks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/oiles-bearings-with-border.jpg 442w, http:\/\/www.driveworks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/oiles-bearings-with-border-200x152.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.driveworks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/oiles-bearings-with-border-80x61.jpg 80w\" alt=\"oiles bearings with border\" width=\"442\" height=\"336\" \/>Using DriveWorks has helped Oiles America Corporation to:<br \/>\n\u2013 Provide a quicker response time<br \/>\n\u2013 Increase sales opportunities<br \/>\n\u2013 Generate sales leads<br \/>\n\u2013 Reduce engineering and CAD times<br \/>\n\u2013 Reduce errors and the need for error checking<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExternal customers also benefit from the ability to input their information directly into the design automation web interface and get back complete bearing design or a catalogue part that will work for their requirements error free within seconds.
