Abstract
Inappropriate and incorrect specifications and overlooked requirements are major problems that continue to plague the process of dimensioning and tolerancing mechanical type products. A Product Requirement/Design - Oriented FAST Diagram is presented that can be used to obtain product design specifications, including dimensions and tolerances, from a product requirement that is independent of the product design concept. The product requirement and design concept are brought together using FAST Diagram procedures to develop the specifications.
