Actually most EDA companies are jumping on this band wagon, I'd
     certainly contact whoever your EDA vendor/supplier is for a product
     that works hand-in0-glove eith your existing tools.

I would like to find out what methods other companies are using to track and
record metrics for PWB Design/Layout.

What I am looking for is something more than just a spreadsheet, although
that could be a part of it.  I would like a system that we can record the
date the Engineer gives us the schematic and records all activity through
the design process until final documentation is completed including the
assembly drawing.  Also, included would be a data base to record metrics
(such as card size, number of components, number of nets, time spent on each
step, etc) that we could use for future projects to estimate design time and
manpower.

Any information you could share would be appreciated.
