Functionality of AutoCad in the Supply Chain Management field

Hi AutoCad Community,

 

I am interested in the usefulness of AutoCad in Supply Chain Management. Any real world applications using the program for someone who has no engineering background?

 

Looking forward to your responses.

I guess I dont understand your question, what is it you do?  Do you need to create drawings for the Supply Chain Management field?  If so, what type of information do the drawings show?

I don’t have an engineering background. I took upon AutoCad to add skill to my professional career. What I found interesting and neat with AutoCad is design a warehouse essentially in racking, palleting, stocking etc. Is there a feature in AutoCad that I can create a network diagram for example - delivery truck moving from one city to another city? And, in addition optimize this network diagram model?

Unfortunately I'm not aware of any such feature in AutoCAD, it is pretty much a design tool for drawing production.

You can take a look here for the overview of the product:

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You can certainly create a floor plan of your facility along with racks and such.  I am not sure there is an optimum way  of automating anything however to track your stock or products and their routing.  

 

If you have such data in a spreadsheet or database you could make connections to the floor plan.  Datalinks, tables, dataextraction, DBconnect are all features that you could read up on to see if any of these features would enhance your workflow.
