Dimensional Management and Tolerance Analysis
-
Published:1997
Abstract
The objective of dimensional management is to create a design and process that absorbs as much variation as possible without affecting the function of the product. This article describes the steps followed by the dimensional management process. These include defining product dimensional requirements, determining process and product requirements, ensuring accurate documentation, developing a measurement plan that validates product requirements, establishing manufacturing capabilities versus design intent, and establishing production-to-design feedback loop. The article discusses the simulation model in terms of a functional feature product model, component part variation, assembly method variation, measurement schemes, and assembly sequences.
