Abstract :
A method is presented which, from the customer´s point of view, connects the quality with which an arbitrary number of manufacturing tolerances are met to the manufacturer´s profit per unit. The method assumes specific quadratic forms to model customer satisfaction for the three major tolerance types: nominal is best, less is better, and more is better. Theoretical and numerical examples are presented to illustrate the method for the cases of low and high quality in manufacture
