Statistical tolerance in the framework of concurrent engineering

Abstract

Presents a computational methodology based upon statistical tolerance models employed for many and diverse applications. It has particular value as a concurrent engineering technique and thus, as a technique for improving product quality and reliability. We present the generic framework followed that is common to all applications of this technique. Then we give two real-life examples of applications of this methodology and how it was used to achieve several of the goals of concurrent and computer-aided engineering.<>
