Consultations
Technical standards in the areas of tolerance management (e.g. ISO GPS) and the standardization of materials change quickly, are sometimes withdrawn without replacement and a large number of new and sometimes complex standards are constantly being created.
Although these standards are applied indirectly (e.g. when creating a construction drawing), there is usually not enough time to deal intensively with these standards. Changes in standards sometimes go unnoticed and the complexity of the practical implementation, especially of the mostly abstract international standards, is usually always underestimated. However, as experience shows, incorrect implementation of the relevant standards can have far-reaching consequences.
With advice individually tailored to your company-specific issues, we support you on the one hand in the implementation of the normative specifications in design practice and on the other hand in the optimization of your design drawings (see the following main areas of advice).
Depending on the scope and complexity of the issues, we will advise you personally on site or at the Steinbeis headquarters in Stuttgart. Of course, we also offer short telephone consultations on current or urgent problems.
The project managers and experts in our consulting center have many years of experience in their respective fields. On the one hand, this enables us to cover a wide range of topics and, on the other hand, to provide you with competent support for complex issues.
Our consulting focus
- Analysis of the current state of existing construction drawings with regard to conformity with standards, functional tolerances as well as economic manufacturability and cost-optimized testing (verification).
- Assessment of the need for action and effort for the operational introduction and implementation of current standards for tolerance management, including the development of an individual catalog of measures.
- Development of a cost-optimal tolerancing strategy, taking into account the functional requirements as well as the manufacturing and metrological boundary conditions (available manufacturing and testing facilities).
- Clarification of questions that arise in the practical implementation of the relevant standards in constructive practice.
- Assessment of ISO and ASME-based customer drawings for standard conformity, clear interpretability and technical feasibility (manufacturing and testing).
- Support in converting and redesigning existing construction drawings to current international standards (in particular ISO GPS standards and new material standards and designations).
- Advice on the development and introduction of company-specific (factory) standards.
- Support in the transition to European and international material standards, international comparison of standards and evaluation of content.
