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, Louisville 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

Math: Algebra, Summations

Excel

Details.

All students receive a binder of slide print-outs.

Louisville

Derby City - Where Northern enterprise and Southern hospitality meet

Excellent choice! Louisville began as a settlement at the stopping point to further travel on the Ohio River. Boats had to be unloaded and moved downriver before reaching the Falls of the Ohio. Horse breeding and racing became popular making Louisville home of the Kentucky Derby. The waterfall was circumvented by a dam and lock. WWII spurred aircraft production. Production of tractors, automobiles, appliances, and bourbon developed. Yet, cargo remains the city's economic underpinning. Meanwhile, Louisville grew culturally as well offering many options for activity after Tolerance Design Training. Festivals, independent art, museums, and parks abound. Most popular are the Louisville Mega Cavern, and Slugger Museum & Factory.

Our Master Black Belt Instructor was instrumental in getting my department to change the way we think. Achieving success in Lean methods sometimes needs an overhaul of conventional methods and our MBB was the person that can take the concept from an abstract form to reality in the most efficient way possible. The Lean Six Sigma projects that our department conducted helped us reduce costs and streamline our operations.

The FMEA example sessions were fun, engaging and productive. Facilitator helped break ice between team members and the video clips were great illustrators that added to the examples.
