    abstract = {Computer Aided Design (CAD) system has been reported to be one of the most important
requirement for the apparel business to be successful. It is claimed to be one of the main technology adapted
by most of the large garment manufacturing countries in order to performed various task in designing and
manufacturing processes. Several researchers have proposed the CAD adaptation framework in various area
and purposes but limited research has focused on the Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) in Malaysia apparel
sector. In order to fill this gap, the main objective of this study is to carry out the fundamental review of
information on CAD usage among the Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) apparel sector in Malaysia. The
survey was conducted on 343 SMEs apparel owners as respondents. The finding shows that the adaptation
of CAD application among the apparel SMEs in Malaysia are still in the adjustment phase and has not been able
to implement 100% deployment of CAD. This is due to several factors that will be discussed in this study and
the suggestion and direction for future research are also presented.}
