Abstract
CALS is a management strategy for the implementation of modern working methods supported by information technology based on widely accepted standards. Modern working methods are based on early involvement of all relevant functions. Product data should be available for all concerned. The information technology and the necessary standards will be increasingly model-based rather than document based. CALS has international support from all industry sectors.
