ABSTRACT
Sometimes a ¢nal assembly tolerance requirement is known, and tolerances must be determined that will allow the ¢nal requirement to be met. This is commonly encountered where assembly level or ¢nished product level objectives have been set. For example, automotive and truck body panels must meet predetermined design and manufacturing objectives for quality and ¢t. The ¢nal assembly tolerancing requirements must be met when all the subcomponents are assembled.
