ISO-GPS / ISO 8015

This seminar covers the fundamentals, application and implementation of the ISO-GPS standards in an industrial context.

1. Fundamentals of the ISO-GPS system

• Introduction to Geometric Product Specification (GPS)
• Standards ISO 8015, ISO 22081 and their significance
• The principle of independence and the hierarchy of standards
• Classification within the ISO‑GPS matrix (ISO 14638)

2. Measurement and inspection processes

• The importance of inspection processes in quality assurance
• Typical inspection methods and their application
• The envelope principle and the handling of measuring equipment
• Requirements for measuring equipment management (e.g. ISO 10012)

3. Standards in practice

• Application of ISO‑GPS in production and quality assurance
• Contractual and documentation security through standards
• Procedures for a standards-compliant inspection process
• Dealing with national and international standards

4. Digital integration (CAD / CAM / CAQ)

• The role of CAD and CAM systems in the context of ISO‑GPS
• Use of CAQ systems for quality assurance
• Integration of GPS data into digital processes
• The importance of PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) and MBD

5. Interfaces and data integration

• Linking design, manufacturing and quality
• Use of GPS data throughout the entire process chain
• Consistency of information across digital systems  

6. Standardisation and design guidelines

• The importance of standards within the organisation
• Development of uniform design guidelines
• Benefits for quality, efficiency and scalability
• Improving collaboration between departments

7. Introduction of ISO-GPS within the organisation

• Step-by-step approach:
   
  • Defining objectives and launching the project
  • Analysis of the current situation and understanding of the standards
  • Drawing up guidelines
  • Pilot projects
  • System integration and automation
  • Training and roll-out
  • Continuous improvement
  
  

8. Challenges and success factors

• Reasons for a lack of acceptance of standards
• Coordination between design, production and quality assurance
• Importance of training and knowledge transfer
• Integration into existing processes and systems

9. Future prospects

• Further development of the ISO‑GPS standards
• Requirements for production and quality assurance
• Role of digitalisation and automation
• Future challenges for companies

10. Methodology and learning format

• Interactive seminars and workshops in small groups (9–12 participants)
• Practical teaching using concrete examples
• Supplementary coaching services for sustainable implementation
