About Tolerance Design Training

Who is Tolerance Design Training for?

Tolerance Design is most often used by Product Design Engineers and their management. In our course, Fort Worth students learn:

Tolerance Design Training Course Overview:

In an interactive and fun setting. learn how to calculate the intersection point between internal manufacturing cost and external warranty cost. How many billions of dollars do you suppose have been lost due to tolerances being either too tight or too loose? If they're too tight, manufacturing cost is unnecessarily high. And often the relationship between Product Engineering and Manufacturing is strained, damaged, and contentious. If tolerances are too loose, warranty cost will be high and relations with external customers will be damaged exposing your organization to market share being stolen by competitors. Who wants to live this way? Certainly, most of the companies we visit do no tolerance design at all relying on arbitrary block tolerances. It is absolutely certain that block tolerances are costing you. Probably a 6-7 digit annual cost depending on the size of your company.

The primary focus of our 1-day Introduction to Tolerance Design is conveying how to improve profit by setting tolerances at the optimal balance between external (warranty) cost and internal manufacturing cost. Sometimes this is attained by tightening tolerances. Sometimes it is attained by loosening them. Through presentation, examples, and hands-on exercises, students will learn through doing the following in a highly interactive and fun setting:

Prioritize. Tolerances based on their ability to impact product functionality / performance through application of Design of Experiments. This introductory course is limited to 2-factor designs; 2 levels of tolerance variation one high and one low. We do offer an Advanced Tolerance Design class to address 3-factor designs.

Analyze. Cost implications associated with changing tolerances through constructing quality loss functions, calculating average quality loss, and conducting cost benefit analysis.

Choose. Which tolerances to tighten or loosen and by how much.

Prerequisites. Basic:

Knowledge of Product Design / Engineering

Queen City of the Prairie - Where the West Begins

Excellent choice! Fort Worth was established as an army outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Thanks to completion of the Texas and Pacific Railway, city Stockyards became a premier center for the cattle wholesale trade. Meat packing firms migrated in cementing a ranching culture. Oil discovery spurred further growth. Now, the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex retains its Western heritage and is known for a world class zoo, amazing museums, insane water parks, printing money, gardens, racing. It's a beautiful area with tons to do after Tolerance Design Training. Most popular are Fort Worth Stockyards and National History District, Zoo, Water Gardens, and Botanical Gardens.

Facility

The River Plaza office space is situated in an office tower that gives the building the benefit of prominence. Many leading corporations, including a major national accounting firm, international and national oil and gas companies, law firms and financial services, call the tower home. A big draw is the educated workforce, with nearby TCU offering business, technology and management degrees. The newly developing WestBend will evolve the successful University retail district by delivering the critical mass of retail and restaurants, the urban-style pedestrian experience and connectivity to the active social scene on the Trinity Trail. River Plaza is less than two miles away from key destinations in the city, including the Colonial Country Club, the Cultural District, Fort Worth Zoo and Texas Christian University. The office space is well situated for access to the interstate I-30 and Fort Worth Intermodel Transportation Center, where the Trinity Railway Express connects to Dallas and Amtrak to further afield.
