From Dr Martin Raines - ten ways your business could benefit from Tolcap use:
-
Reduce time to market
Avoid time consuming re-design caused by incorrect tolerancing. -
Reduce levels of scrap and re-work
By allocating process capable tolerances at the design stage. -
Better informed design decisions
Reducing the risk of delay necessary for re-design. -
Improve product quality
Reduce the number of failures experienced by customers caused by incorrect tolerance allocation. -
Reduce cost
All of the above lower the cost of product development and manufacture! -
Traceable design
The Tolcap analysis can be saved for future engineers to assess 'Why did we allocate that tolerance?' -
Standard tolerance allocation method
Ensures consistency in tolerance allocation and helps with the integration of new engineers into a business. -
Supplier liaison
Discussions with suppliers on process capability can have a common basis. -
Assist in process selection
Compare the process capability potential of alternative manufacturing processes. -
Protect the environment
Reduce levels of scrap and re-work which use precious material and energy resources.
