In mechanical design, statistical design analysis can be substituted for worst-case tolerance analysis. A case study in mechanical design tolerance analysis is that of a typical vibrating probe that i...

A product is made of many parts that have been made from different materials. Many electronic products use parts made from plastics, sheet metal, machined parts, rubber, castings, etc....

Statistical analysis involves the application of statistical probability distributions to analyzing tolerances for assemblies. It will prevent overly conservative designs, which can increase the cost...

Stencil technology DoEProcess surveys to investigate recent advances in materials and processing techniques should be undertaken regularly by process and manufacturing engineers to make current proces...

When some of the current and alternative manufacturing processes are not capable, additional manufacturing options in materials and processes have to be explored. A common solution is to invest in new...

Up-to-date capability data for the manufacturing processes to build new products have to be available to the new product design team. The data can be used to calculate the design and manufacturing qua...

The implementation of a six sigma program in an organization necessitates several major activities: understanding the design quality of new products as measured by six sigma, knowing the capability of...

In current products, most of the process and product improvements should be concentrated on specific high-defects problems. A Pareto chart should be made of the top ten problems, and projects such as...
