We were working with a medical device company that had 2 new projects they were starting. We had trained a lot of the employees and one group decided to implement our method of design previews and the use of GD&T throughout the project. The other group decided not to. One of our coaches went to the facility and ran the design preview. The company continued to connect with our coach throughout the process, training individuals that needed it and asking questions. The Results… The group that did the design review with Tec-Ease and used GD&T was under budget by over $100,000 and ahead of schedule by 3 months. The group that didn’t use GD&T or a design preview were over budget (they didn’t tell us how much), over the timeline and had to rework many parts to get them to work. Why? Because GD&T and design previews allow everyone to have input on the process and speak the same language. “GD&T training helped us to eliminate misinterpretation by closing loopholes associated with linear dimensioning. With some forethought, it can be applied to any assembly or component. It's a great tool when used correctly. “ Under Budget and Ahead of Schedule Design Previews A Case Study
