On-site Pricing

Course fee and EPTO/APTO units differ for on-site training.

Robust Optimization and Tolerance Design

Duration: 2.0 days
CEUs: 1.2
Available for on-site training or can be scheduled at any SAS training facility if demand warrants.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to apply tolerance design to product and process development, generate transfer functions from characterization data, use tranfer functions to set tolerances on the inputs to achieve end-product performance, use statistical methods for setting tolerances based on RSS and worst-case methodologies, and use distribution fitting for setting tolerances when no transfer function is available.

Who should attend

This course is required for all employees who actively work on any aspect of product and process development where the goal is to establish product and process tolerances. This course is required for all product/process engineers, scientists and their managers. Topics include selection and use of transfer functions, statistical methods for distribution analysis, tolerance design, and product/process capability assessment.
