Blueprint Reading develops workers' abilities to locate and interpret dimensions on engineering drawings, skills which are essential to the success of any quality improvement or scrap reduction efforts. It's a practical, application-based program that's based on current ANSI standards and includes input from a broad cross-section of industries.
The DVD/VHS program utilizes an instructor-led environment to develop workers' abilities to locate and interpret dimensions on engineering drawings, skills which are essential to the success of any quality improvement or scrap reduction efforts.
The CD-ROM version is a self-paced computer-based training program that develops workers' abilities to visualize a part from a print and to locate and accurately read dimensions and tolerances—skills that are essential to the success of any quality improvement or scrap reduction efforts.
