TIPS FOR PRESS-FIT ASSEMBLY A press fit is an assembly in which one part is inserted tightly into a hole in another part. The inserted part is typically 0.001 to 0.002 inch larger than the mating hole. The assembly stays in place through friction and the force of the two parts pushing against each other. In most cases, the press fit is strong enough to stand on its own.

FIRST-PASS YIELD

First-pass yield is an important manufacturing metric. It measures the effectiveness of a process and provides an indication of how well we are eliminating waste. Other metrics don’t account for the cost of rework, which can be significant at some assembly plants. First-pass yield is also a good measure of the success of continuous improvement

activities.
