Honestly, math is for the birds. Most birds can fly so they have me on that subject too. That said, I was an overachiever in the statistics class. That’s one of those courses you take to avoid going into calculus for another semester. Mission accomplished. So, besides being worse than lies and damn lies, statistics play a vital role in monitoring the health of our factory processes. Let me tell you about it.

I used to finish grind carbide, ceramic, and diamond machine cutting tool inserts. When one is trying to maintain a tiny 3-D form shape to +/- 2/10,000th of an inch, in extremely hard and difficult to grind material, one truly begins to appreciate the concept of "tolerance stacking". Good post, as always, John.
