Ten Excellent Business Reasons to Use Tolcap

From Dr Martin Raines - ten ways your business could benefit from Tolcap use:

1. Reduce time to market
   Avoid time consuming re-design caused by incorrect tolerancing.
2. Reduce levels of scrap and re-work
   By allocating process capable tolerances at the design stage.
3. Better informed design decisions
   Reducing the risk of delay necessary for re-design.
4. Improve product quality
   Reduce the number of failures experienced by customers caused by incorrect tolerance allocation.
5. Reduce cost
   All of the above lower the cost of product development and manufacture!
6. Traceable design
   The Tolcap analysis can be saved for future engineers to assess “why did we allocate that tolerance?”
7. Standard tolerance allocation method
   Ensures consistency in tolerance allocation and helps with the integration of new engineers into a business.
8. Supplier liaison
   Discussions with suppliers on process capability can have a common basis.
9. Assist in process selection
   Compare the process capability potential of alternative manufacturing processes.
10. Protect the environment
    Reduce levels of scrap and re-work which use precious material and energy resources.
