Tackling variation and achieving design intent
Overview
Leverage our experts in dimensional management to eliminate guesswork and gain control over mechanical variation. Through expert-led analysis in Tolerance Analysis and ISO GPS best practices, we work with your team to improve fit and function issues before they escalate into costly production problems. Whether you’re developing new assemblies, troubleshooting supplier quality, or working to reduce time-to-market, we give your team the support and insight to design and manufacture with confidence.
STRIDE’s Dimensional Management led consultancy works with engineering teams to
Resolve poor fits and misalignments
Our engineers ensure your functional requirements are met through detailed analysis of your parts, tolerances and assembly conditions.
Clarify ambiguous tolerancing
Our engineers analyse/review your drawings to apply ISO GPS standards to define precise, functional tolerances, reducing interpretation errors and quality issues.
Prevent supplier miscommunication
Our engineers work with your team to understand the challenges you face with suppliers to determine alternate strategies to improve product quality while meeting supplier requirements.
Eliminate excessive prototyping
Our engineers run the tests for you digitally and investigate the root cause of product variation before you take your design to prototype.
Reduce part cost by removing over-tolerancing
Our engineers identify and relax unnecessarily tight tolerances while maintaining functional requirements and manufacturability.
Why Dimensional Management?
Design with confidence
Our experts use 3D Tolerance Analysis to model and predict the impact of mechanical variation in your CAD assembly, keeping ISO standards as a fundamental part of the design process.
Offload resource
You can offload simulation projects for your team to make the best use of the combined expertise of our experts and your insider knowledge.
Improve manufacturing quality
Our approach helps you stabilise production, reduce variation, and improve yield at launch.
Streamline supplier communication
Establish robust, standards-compliant drawings and models that improves communication with suppliers.
Accelerate time-to-market
By resolving tolerance issues during the design process, you minimise delays, change requests, and failures in service.
Mentoring
STRIDE delivers bespoke mentoring to further embed Dimensional Management methodologies into your workflows.
We can assist you with:
- Reviewing your engineering drawings with our experts to optimise your use of ISO GPS.
- Double checking your tolerance analysis processes to ensure the functional requirements are being met and that the assembly conditions represent the manufacturing process.
- Embedding learning from training courses through tailored surgery sessions.
