Business Relationship and Engineering Tolerance Survey
Business Relationship and Engineering Tolerance Survey 2017
The purpose of this survey is two-fold.
In Section I, we explore the nature of the Investment Casting Institute's customer-supplier relationship. This data will be used in support of an article being developed by INCAST Magazine.
Section II explores what the industry considers to be typical/achievable manufacturing tolerances. Though the Institute does not dictate nor establish standards, many customers have used data provided in ICI publications to establish their quality requirements. As this may be unavoidable, it is in all of our best interests that we ensure that what we have been saying in regard to "typical tolerances" are in fact typical. This data will be provided to the Technical and Publications Committees.
Actually, there is a "third fold". In Section III, we ask that you identify what type of company you work for (foundry, supplier, etc.), to give us a better understanding of your responses, and we also ask for your contact information, for the purposes of a drawing for one of four door prizes. As is the case in all surveys conducted by the Investment Casting Institute, your identity will be kept confidential, unless of course you win one of the door prizes, in which case everyone will know that you care enough to help us serve the industry.
To be eligible for the door prize, this survey must be completed by 12:00 noon on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. Employees of the Investment Casting Institute and their family members are ineligible to participate in this drawing.
