Abstract
Tolerance design affects the quality and cost of a product cycle time. Most of the literature on tolerance design problems has focused on developing exact methods to minimize manufacturing cost or quality loss. The inherent assumption in this approach is that the assembly function is known before a tolerance design problem is analysed. With the current development in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, design engineers can proceed with the tolerance design problems, without knowing assembly functions in advance. In this study, the Monte Carlo simulation is employed using VSA-3D/Pro software to obtain experimental data. Then the design of experiments (DOE) approach is adopted for data analysis in order to select critical components for cost reduction and quality improvement. Implementing the discussed computer experiments, a tolerance design analysis which improves quality and reduces cost can be performed for any complex assembly via computer during the early stage of design.
