Introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Course Outline: The course is primarily a study of the geometric controls set forth in the ASME standard Y14.5M-1994. The goal is a beginning level ability to interpret a symbolic language used on engineering drawings to communicate geometric information. These symbols limit error for the geometric characteristics of size, form, orientation, and location on selected part features.
In general, the definition of each symbol is reviewed, related tolerance zones are developed and examples of acceptable and rejectable conditions are analyzed. An in-depth investigation of datums is also incorporated. Many of the controls define relationships between part features. These relationships are dimensional in nature and therefore require a specified and repeatable origin of measurement - a datum. Specific topics in this area include: the Datum Reference Frame, simulated datums, datum order of precedence and datum targeting. Additional subjects included are: feature-of-size concepts, effects of MMC, LMC an RFS on tolerance zones, determining "bonus" tolerance, verification techniques using common inspection tools and dial indicators. Students are invited to submit drawings of their own for in-class review and discussion. The use of familiar parts assists greatly in the retention of complex material.
Prerequisites: A solid grounding in blue print reading and basic math skills is a must. Familiarity with basic shop processes, common machine tools and inspection equipment is beneficial but not a necessity.
Class is every Wednesday.
This course is sponsored by the PA Department of Labor & Industry and organized by the Original Equipment Manufacturers’ . For information on this group call Tammy Marcase at 717-843-3891.

Customized Print Reading for Professionals
Course Outline: Production workers are often trained using Blueprint reading programs. In the summer of 2007, the MASCPA conducted a similar program requested by two local manufacturers for their customer service and purchasing personnel. These individuals were in constant telephone contact with personnel in other companies using product drawings during the conversation. Reviews from the program participants were excellent.
We are now offering a customized program to interested manufacturers for professionals that have no or minimal experience in reading blueprints. Course Parameters: This basic twenty hour course, conducted in two hour sessions once a week, includes orthographic projection, types of lines, features, dimensioning, sections, views, formats, math calculations, and other aspects necessary to ‘read’ a typical manufacturing drawing, and to communicate that information to another person over the telephone. Abundant “In-class” exercises are used to re-enforce the various aspects of drawing interpretation. An assessment will be conducted in the last session for the participants to evaluate their grasp of the presented materials. The course participants are encouraged to bring some company drawings to the education sessions to share and learn from others in the group. This aspect of the course is particularly beneficial to participants whose companies produce products to a variety of customer requirements. Note: This customized program does include the basics of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
Who Should Attend: Purchasing, engineering and customer service professionals.

Improving Maintenance Inventory Control
Course Outline: Maintenance organizations need the right materials, in the proper quantity, at the right time. If these basic conditions are not met, your maintenance efforts will be ineffective. In this era of downsized industrial operations, careless material accountability is not an option. Companies typically have several hundred to several million dollars worth of parts in a maintenance storeroom, “just in case.” This is clearly a very costly practice. The availability of better data and refined control measures will help. In addition, maintenance and material control personnel have a joint responsibility to ensure equipment reliability and plant profitability. These days, they have no choice but to work together. Making maintenance resources more productive requires effective planning methods, organizational structures and techniques for optimum management and control of maintenance inventory. Course Outline(Please contact Tammy Marcase at 717-843-3891 for a full outline): The Role of Maintenance in the Global Economy: Maintenance Today and Tomorrow, Maintenance Organizational Support, World Class Inventory Management: Maintenance Inventory Control World Class Numbers, What are the Concepts of Inventory Management?, Requirements of a Good Storeroom: Physical Environment, Climate Control, Roles and Responsibilities: Maintenance/Purchasing/Inventory, Storeroom Security: Types, Levels, and Options, Necessity of a Secure Environment, Critical Partnerships: Recognition and Rewards, Storeroom Layouts: Physical Layout - ABC Analysis, Appropriate Location for Parts, Storeroom Procedures: Primary ID, Stores Stock Catalog, Storeroom Contents: What Should Be There?, CMMS - Maximize use of YOUR system: Bar Coding and Micro-Chip Technology, Metrics: Practical Measurements, Accounting Systems, Vendors: 10 Key Ways to Achieve Maximum Benefit from Vendors (Parts Delivered), Roadmap to World Class Inventory Management: Flowchart Development - WCM Storeroom Implementation

Improving Maintenance Inventory Control
Course Outline: Maintenance organizations need the right materials, in the proper quantity, at the right time. If these basic conditions are not met, your maintenance efforts will be ineffective. In this era of downsized industrial operations, careless material accountability is not an option. Companies typically have several hundred to several million dollars worth of parts in a maintenance storeroom, “just in case.” This is clearly a very costly practice. The availability of better data and refined control measures will help. In addition, maintenance and material control personnel have a joint responsibility to ensure equipment reliability and plant profitability. These days, they have no choice but to work together. Making maintenance resources more productive requires effective planning methods, organizational structures and techniques for optimum management and control of maintenance inventory.

    Solid Works-Advanced Surface Modeling
    Course Outline: The goal of this course is to teach you how to use surface features to build parts using SolidWorks software. Most of the case studies and exercises in this course are taken from consumer product design applications, and the lessons center around the combined use of solids and surfaces, with the goal always being to create a good solid. During this course we will learn industry standard surfacing terminology necessary to understand a ground-up surface modeling approach, as well as answer some of the “when” and “why” questions which are inevitable with the solids to surfaces paradigm shift. If your modeling experience to date has been completely in the solids realm, you may find that working in surfaces requires a different approach.
    Prerequisites: SolidWorks Fundamentals and minimum of 80 hours SolidWorks Modeling Time are required. SolidWorks Advanced Part Modeling is recommended.
