Abstract: In this paper, the concept of cost-tolerance functions based on data directly obtained from the manufacturing process is proposed. Traditional models used in manufacturing field define cost-tolerance relationships from mathematical functions whose relationship with the process is not usually set in a clear way. In this work, proposed models allow to obtain cost-tolerance functions directly from parameters measured on manufacturing process. The paper defines some of these functions using statistical distributions derived from the population of manufactured parts. A general methodology to reach a cost-tolerance function from any distribution of the manufactured parts is proposed. Once functions are defined, an application example is presented. Finally, the main criteria for suitable appropriateness use of models are established.
