Tolerance Analysis Tailored to Your Organization

Pages 293-303 | Published online: 20 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

One element of tolerance analysis is the formula used to relate product tolerances to component tolerances. This paper discusses deficiencies with traditional tolerancing, outlines a simple procedure for converting process capability information into an improved tolerancing formula tailored to a specific class of products, and describes how this analysis can contribute to substantive improvements in profits by improving tolerancing of future products and helping to identify improvement opportunities in production of current products.
