|  | Why WH_KBE? 
 WH_KBE is a tool which synchronizes data from the start (PA), between ECAD 
	and MCAD.
 - Optimization through automation.
 - Constant Circuit Synchronization, therefore, accurate analysis at each 
	step, taking into consideration all manufacturing rules.
 - Eliminating erroneous communications ( LT, LC, HQ).
 
 Advantages:
 
 - Some of the tools utilized might become redundant.
 - Real Cost / Time savings and Total Quality improvement..
 - Maximum Accuracy.
 - Synchronization is done completely automatically.
 - No trouble in exporting and importing files.
 - No error as a result of using wrong versions of ECAD or MCAD files.
 - Initial routing utilizes MCAD information, therefore complete optimization 
	when router is designed.
 - Communication between ECAD and MCAD groups is minimized.
 - Generated KBE databases are very comprehensive.
 - Constant Analysis Capabilities and netlist generation.
 
 Conclusion
 
 WH_KBE is an advanced technique that saves time and cost. It reduces the 
	design cycle to almost half and the cost to almost 80% compared with other 
	existing systems.
