Step One: Train a core group of people who will be the "go to" team. This team should be composed of key people from Engineering, Design, Manufacturing and Quality. This group should take all the training (GD&T Fundamentals, Applications of GD&T, Tolerance Stack-Ups and Inspecting Geometric Tolerances). Typically, the group will work with management to ensure training and compliance.

Step Two: Train your engineers and designers so they know how to apply GD&T to the designs they are creating.

Step Three: Gather your core GD&T team together, along with suppliers, who are working on the project, and do a series of design pre-view meetings, for a set of selected parts. Tec-Ease can teach your key people how to lead a design pre-view meeting and can participate in the first couple to ensure success.

Step Four: The drawing mark-ups from the design preview meetings will guide the placement application of GD&T on the drawings. This verifying all drawing revisions are completed correctly, and training the additional personnel that must work with the newly applied GD&T, is where many companies do not follow through. The drawing drives the entire process. Everyone downstream must know how to read the drawings and understand the GD&T callouts. Begin the process of training your manufacturing and quality teams, along with suppliers.

Step Five: Continue design previews and training new hires. Refresh training as needed.
