In preparation Planned
Tolerance analysis and GD&T in depth: datum strategy, position and profile in practice, stack-ups across assemblies, and what process capability data does to a tolerance decision.
New product introduction for engineers who lead it: phase gates, build planning, risk registers, supplier readiness, and the production ramp.
