How Do I Set Up The Stock PDM For 2012 Professional And What Can It Do?

I'm new to PDM, but I have read a lot about it and its getting me quite excited.  At my small company, I am the head of engineering.  Here is the workflow process.

I design model -> my drafter makes drawings -> drawings get approved by general manager -> drawings get approved by president -> drawings get transferred to purchasing -> prints get released to shop.  All the transferring of prints in the form of paper has become a process nightmare.

I'm wondering where I go and how to set up the stock pdm that came with our software.  Also I'm woundering what I can automate, and the most useful functions.  Any help would be greatly appriceated.

Thanks,

Cliff
