Abstract

Besides finding the target values of every component of an assembled product, it is also necessary to find the best compromise between the quality product cost and the quality assembled cost. To this end, Genichi Taguchi and Don Clausing suggested using Taguchi’s lost function to evaluate these quality costs. Based on this function, Pillet suggested a new approach, called “inertial tolerancing”. This approach is a new language between the designer and the process engineering department. It allows a link to be made between the quality product cost and the quality assembled cost and then to use statistical tolerancing in the assembled design. This paper presents the efficiency of the use of this approach during the design phase for assembling two components and also its efficiency during the production phase for the monitoring with an inertia control chart. In order to illustrate this, these new approaches are used in industrial cases and compared to the traditional approach (tolerancing and monitoring) to underline the economic benefit which can be obtained using the inertial approach.
