Gaging Tighter Tolerances is a Different Animal
"If you are planning on manufacturing to tolerances of 0.0001 inch or less and have not done so before, your introduction to high order gaging might be an eye opener. Gaging at this level is a very different animal, especially when considering how to measure the new parts you will be producing.

When gaging parts with the usual tolerances (0.0005 inch or broader), the quality of the gage is usually the main consideration. However, when you become interested in tolerances of say 30 microinches, there is much more than the gage to consider. You must place just as much importance on creating a special environment in which it will operate..."

A Few Tricks with Machining Center Canned Cycles
"Last month, we discussed some tricks with turning center canned cycles. This month we’ll do the same for Fanuc machining center canned cycles.

Translating What the Customer Wants
"Quality has become a survival issue in today's business world. While managers today are keenly aware that quality is important to competitiveness, there remains the problem of translating the desire for quality into a practical program of action. The solution is the whole-hearted participation of company senior management in quality policy and action. Management's ability to evaluate and translate the critical customer requirements will allow everyone in production and control to speak the same language: Quality..."

Character First - Punctuality
                   Why have articles on character?
"A schedule is to time what a budget is to money. Both schedules and budgets are guides for resource management. They indicate how much time or
money is available for a given task or purchase. Budgets remind us that overspending in one area means we will have to sacrifice in other areas. The same is true of schedules.

Budgets also teach us that under spending in an area frees extra funds for other pursuits. The same is true of punctual time management. Punctuality is not simply staying within time limits; a punctual person will look for ways to get ahead of schedule, just as a frugal spender looks for ways to stay under budget..."
