Course Overview

Statistical tolerance calculation offers a more accurate understanding of production variability compared to traditional tolerance limits, allowing for realistic early-stage assessments of customer specifications and identifying critical variables. This course covers the key principles, including assumptions about input variable distributions derived from production or Cpk data, and models linking input variables to target values based on design, DoE, or process insights.

Participants will learn: how to use Cornerstone software to replace Gaussian error propagation with distribution simulations, including handling special cases like truncated and mixed distributions. The course also demonstrates how integrating DoE with these simulations leads to more robust and cost-effective process designs.

  • This course is designed for: Engineers in construction and development who would like to assess the process capability and industrial feasibility of future projects ahead of time.
  • Requirements: Mathematical thinking and interest in modelling error propagation in the running of a process.
  • Objectives: The focus is on understanding the methods, not mathematics, the integration of this method into linked processes requiring process validation suitability (trial planning, process capability) is closely examined, the steps in the process are explained as we discuss application examples or simulations, trust in the processes is developed, and from a practical point of view, a clear strategy for using statistical tolerance calculation is given.
  • Training Method:The course includes lectures, simulations of specific scenarios, discussions of real-world application examples, and hands-on exercises. Simulations and practical exercises can be completed independently on a laptop, providing participants with a flexible and interactive learning experience.
