Budgetary Planning....Are all the pieces coming together?

University IconEvery company has a chain of teams depending on each other to make the end product a success. When each team is on a different page, or sometimes even a different book altogether, it becomes impossible to create a high quality, properly functioning piece of equipment. The bottom line is dependent on everyone speaking, and more importantly understanding, the same language. This is where IIGDT comes in. All the guesswork and assumptions are removed, and through the trainings implemented by Dr. Hetland your company can finally synchronize its efforts in understanding the proper interpretation or intent of GD&T.

Educated and ConfusedEducated and confused...it's a sad fact; education in manufacturing no longer addresses GD&T. For those who may have taken a class on it along the way, typically 95% of the individuals have not applied that knowledge for some time, or were taught to a previous version of the standard, or were taught less than optimum methods. In most instances the individuals that have attempted to apply GD&T in some manner have done it incorrectly, which has caused parts to be rejected that actually still work or parts to be accepted that actually will not work. Even those that feel they were proficient in GD&T have been more than surprised at the depth of knowledge they did not have on the subject and that many things they were previously doing were wrong.

8-Tracks

This is the motivation behind Dr. Hetland's 8 Tracks to GD&T Expertise. His series of trainings removes any ambiguities your process chain may have, creating a clarity of knowledge across the process chain. Once everyone has a full understanding of GD&T, your team will create products as intended, saving your company time and money while providing customer satisfaction.
