Article: Studies from Oklahoma State University add new findings in the area of manufacturing engineering.

"Modeling of variation propagation in multistation assembly processes is crucial in predicting product dimensional quality and general performance of manufacturing systems. Based on the state space modeling, this paper develops a variation propagation model, which can be applied for analysis of various tolerances such as size tolerance, bonus tolerance, floating tolerance, etc," scientists in the United States report.

"The nonstationary tolerance/variation (varying variance) caused by bonus tolerance and floating tolerance is properly handled by the proposed method. Thus, by using the developed variation propagation model, the variations on key product ...
