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, Philadelphia 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.

City of Brotherly Love - The City that Loves you Back

Excellent choice! Both the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were written in Philadelphia (Philly). It is the largest city in Pennsylvania, and economic anchor of the greater Delaware Valley. After Tolerance Design Training, Philly won't disappoint. Make some time to visit the revitalized waterfront. Once made up of undeveloped piers and underutilized public spaces, the Delaware River waterfront has become one of the city's most activated attractions thanks to the opening of Race Street and Cherry Street Piers, Spruce Street Harbor Park, Blue Cross RiverRink, and spectacular views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.

Natalia M.
Gas Phase Laboratory Technician

I have been working at this company for 7 years. Every year, the leadership encourage each staff member to stive in their individual roles to help the company achieve its goals. The methods we went through in this FMEA class felt like the first concrete, clear path any / each individual throughout the company hierarchy could use to measurably do this.

Our Master Black Belt introduced improved quality and manufacturing processes. Our company was moving to become ISO certified. He and I, plus one other, came from the automotive side and certified in ISO. Further, we had QS experience which was a more concentrated standard to allow all automotive companies to work to the same quality and manufacturing standard. He was also familiar with TS quality standards.
