AGI's Philosophy
We take GD&T theory and make it your reality.
The AGI Advantage
Why do top manufacturers consistently choose AGI?
Businesses choose AGI because we offer advantages that our competitors do not match. The AGI Advantage means focus and flexibility. Our GD&T training and consulting services ensure that your production goals are met with convenient, comprehensive, and cost-effective instruction and mentoring.
AGI helps you efficiently take GD&T from theory to reality. Here’s how we do it:
- AGI Philosophy. AGI makes GD&T work for you on an organizational scale. While design improvements are our primary consideration, AGI also helps you evaluate the impact of dimensional management on manufacturing and assembly through the inspection process.
- Training Method. AGI training provides you both a thorough understanding of the ASME Y14.5 standard and the ability to confidently apply it to your product. GD&T does not have to be just theory, it can be used to produce measurable production efficiencies that save money. Our courses are presented in an engaging, interactive format that generates enthusiasm for the potential of GD&T.
- Standards Expertise. All of AGI’s instructors work in industry or have recent industrial experience with a wide range of products and processes. Instructors for AGI are all GDTP Senior-Level Certified by the ASME in accordance with the qualifications of ASME Y14.5.2. Our instructors actively assist the professional committees charged with developing the next generation of GD&T standards.
- Customized Training. We have taught everything from single workshops for small organizations to entire corporate training programs. We regularly tailor programs to address specific drawings, parts, and processes. Our clients often request on-site training that facilitates adoption of GD&T principles to specific industrial requirements.
- Client Support. After coursework is completed, AGI instructors demonstrate genuine concern beyond the classroom to help students make a positive impact on their organizations. We help them apply their knowledge to real world situations.
Continued support is also available through free refresher courses and 60 days of instructor availability for GD&T questions that arise after courses are completed.
- Measurable Results. AGI clients see tangible benefits through proper use of GD&T. Less time and money is spent on corrective action leading to improved innovation and reduced time to volume.
- Consulting Services. AGI can help you solve specific GD&T problems or we can help you develop and implement standardized dimensional management systems to improve your company’s productivity. We’ll show you how GD&T helps you reach your design, manufacturing, and profitability goals.
- Mentoring Program. Many companies choose to augment AGI’s comprehensive training courses with our Employee Mentoring Program. We work side-by-side with your staff to implement training course concepts in your products and designs. AGI’s Employee Mentoring Program is an expedient way to put GD&T into practice at your firm while demonstrating its value to staff members.
- Quality References. AGI has earned a loyal customer base that includes several Fortune 1000 companies such as Caterpillar, Harley-Davidson, Johnson & Johnson, Rolls-Royce, and BAE Systems. Our client relationships are long-term because we successfully help clients improve design, reduce costs, and deliver products to market faster.
- Return on Investment. Whether you’re pursuing ASME certification for individual career development or seeking to implement GD&T principles on an organizational scale, AGI training courses and consulting services are designed to yield maximum value for your investment. Our rates are competitive in comparison to other leading providers of cutting-edge GD&T education.
Learning how to properly use and manage GD&T is an investment, not a cost. This is true because the costs of not utilizing GD&T properly can be substantial. Vague drawings lead to errors that become more costly at each stage of the production process. An investment in AGI GD&T training is a cost-effective means for businesses to better control their futures in today’s competitive market.
