Nissan will boost its IT spending by $930 million over the next three years to streamline its operations, a new report finds. With the rising costs of raw materials, Nissan is planning on the new investment to maximize efficiency in its design and sales operations.
According to Automotive News, the core of the new system will be a next-generation computer-aided design platform. The new CAD will bolster engineer productivity by 20%, thanks to its easier operation and improved 3-D viewing.
The investment will also fund an upgrade to the company’s management systems in emerging markets. According to the newspaper Nikkei, the new management systems will be up and running later this year.
Overall, the investment should help Nissan to better produce vehicles to meet dealer orders.
