Abstract:

Our objective was to evaluate the degree to which DoD has implemented automated document conversion of engineering drawings. Therefore, we examined 1 whether demand exists for automated document conversion of engineering drawings, 2 the state of the art in automated document conversion technology and whether the technology is cost effective, 3 whether DoD has established automated document conversion policy that will ensure the cost effective conversion of engineering drawings, and 4 whether DoD has prudently applied automated document conversion funding.
