Proven Impact for Manufacturers Last year, the NWIRC managed projects with over 90 clients in Northwest Pennsylvania. The impact of our projects totaled $8.6 million in new client sales revenue, $2.1 million in cost savings, and $14.9 million in new business investment. We know how to develop solutions to your problems, maximize your management initiative efforts, and drive project results through our advisors and consultants! Training events calendar.

 ISO 9001:2015 Internal Audit

This workshop is designed to introduce participant the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, the auditing process, audit instruments and the documentation process. Participants will learn how to conduct an audit, write the audit report, and take corrective action. Using a combination of lecture, discussion and auditing case studies participants will develop skills for identifying non-conformance and promoting continual improvement within their service or manufacturing organizations.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this 3-day course, participants will have the ability to more effectively:
  • Understand ISO 9001:2015 QMS and the underlying Quality Management Principles.
  • Understand the organizations products, services and processes – and how they relate to the Quality Management System
  • Gain the ability to apply the principles, procedures and techniques of process auditing.
  • Apply the personal attributes necessary for the effective and efficient internal auditing

Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

Design and manufacturing professionals, production operators, and quality technicians will gain skill in the interpretation and application of geometric controls. Emphasis will be on interpreting and measuring geometric tolerances, and selecting and applying the proper geometric controls to satisfy design requirements.
Course Objective:
At completion of this course, the learners will be able to:
  • Read and interpret geometric symbols as they are stated on an engineering drawing.
  • Recognize and describe the use of other ASME Y14.5M-1994 drawing symbols.
  • State the basic differences between the ASME and ISO dimensioning standards.
  • Select the appropriate tolerance based on design function requirements.
  • State design requirements using the minimum amount of dimensioning.
  • Describe the basic rules of GD&T.
  • Allocate maximum tolerances to designs.
  • Create complete, clutter-free drawings.
  • Communicate how parts work by using the language of GD&T.
  • Describe manufacturing methods of generating geometric characteristics.
  • State techniques and methods for measuring geometric characteristics.
  • Dimension drawings consistent with ASME Y14.5-2009
  • Choose the correct tolerance for control of coaxial features
  • Identify common errors found on drawings and describe how to avoid them.
  • Describe the advantage of position tolerancing in contrast to the conventional coordinate system.
  • State the advantages of using MMC or LMC principles in designs.
  • Understand the proper application of MMC and LMC principles.
