Just-in-time manufacturing increases the demand forparts that absolutely must fit at assembly, as it is much less likely today to have spareparts waiting in the warehouse. Parts simply must fit together at assembly.In the engineering drawing design, GD&T is a means of specifying engineering designand drawing requirements with respect to actual “function” and “relationship” of partfeatures. If the technique of GD&T is properly applied, it will ensure the mosteconomical and effective production
