All of our courses are presented from a multi-disciplinary point-of-view, paying careful attention to the legal implications of drawing specifications.
All material is presented with the big picture in mind, considering the inter-relationship between Design, Manufacturing, Inspection (QA/QC), Assembly, Service, Purchasing and all other facets of the Design/Manufacturing continuum. Indeed, that's what Dimensional Management is all about.
All courses are offered as standard courses with off-the-shelf content or as customized courses.
Clients often ask to have courses restructured, or to have us develop custom content based on their products and processes. These are very popular options. Please contact us to discuss.
Course durations may be increased or decreased as requested.
GD&T Courses may be taught as 2, 2-1/2 or 3-day courses. Longer duration is preferred by our clients.
