Tolerance Design
Translating end-product specifications into underlying specifications
Translating specifications for the final product into specifications for the underlying modules, and subsequently into specifications for components, parts and processes, is a standard design activity. Nevertheless, many product designs result in an imbalance of specifications. For example, individual modules may meet their specifications while the system composed of those modules fails to meet its overall specifications. Common design approaches can therefore result in under- or over-specified designs.
The CQM Tolerance Design approach results in balanced tolerances throughout the entire chain, from the final product down to components and processes. In the Tolerance Design workshop, participants learn this approach and apply it to real-world cases as well as cases from their own organization. The CQM Tolerance Designer software plays a central role throughout the workshop.
Content
Depending on your objectives and the participants' level of knowledge and experience, we develop a customized training program together with you.
A comprehensive Tolerance Design workshop could include:
- Basic Statistics and Measurement System Analysis (R&R)
- Process Capability and Stability
- Long- and Short-term Spread
- Transfer Functions
- Statistical Tolerancing
- Calculating variation using Spread
- Monte Carlo Simulation
- Predicting Design Capability
- CQM Tolerance Designer
- Impact of critical parameters
- Solving Spread problems
By the end of the training, you will be able to:
-
Understand the basic principles of tolerance analysis
-
Assess existing tolerance chains for over- or under-specification
-
Understand the key statistical techniques and have hands-on experience applying them
-
Independently create and calculate a tolerance chain using the CQM approach and CQM Tolerance Designer
-
Work with the CQM Tolerance Designer software
