"Specification weakness is the Achilles heel for many of today's technologically advanced companies", says Brian Such, Committee Manager, British Standards.
"Tighter tolerances can often prove phenomenally expensive to apply but targeted tolerancing, through the in-depth application of a comprehensive technical product specification system, has the potential to reduce tooling, setup and manufacturing costs significantly and will shorten time to market every time", adds Such.
