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, Milwaukee 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.

Students will also be asked to evaluate the class.

Comprehension will be measured with a quiz. Passing grade is 80%. Students scoring less will receive a call from their instructor to review weak points.

Milwaukee

Cream City

Excellent choice! Milwaukee means 'pleasant land'. It is a city perfectly situated to serve as a port at the Menomonee River's mouth into the west coast of Lake Michigan. Since early in the city's economy, wheat was shipped out by ship and train giving rise to grain elevator and brewery construction. Tanneries and a brickyard making cream-colored bricks; this Milwaukee's nickname "Cream City" had nothing to do with dairy. Sine then, the city diversified to include more manufacturing infrastructure. Several entertainment options exist for after Tolerance Design Training. Water sports are popular especially various forms of sailing. The Harley-Davidson and Milwaukee Art Museums are prominent attractions. Lakefront Brewery and Pabst Mansion are also highly rated.
