Worst-case tolerance analysis, statistical tolerance analysis, and alternative statistical tolerance analysis methods are presented. Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis and Tolerancing Manual: Plus and Minus Edition™ presents linear tolerance stackups on parts and assemblies dimensioned and toleranced using the traditional plus and minus system. The text provides examples that show what happens when different plus and minus dimensioning and tolerancing strategies are used. Standardized tolerance analysis problem solving and analytical techniques are developed using a logical, progressive approach, taking the reader through a series of examples and exercises increasing from simple to complex. Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis and Tolerancing Manual: Plus and Minus Edition™ starts with fundamental concepts and terminology and progress into more advanced topics. Unfortunately everyone out there hasn't yet made the move to GD&T, so we created Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis and Tolerancing Manual: Plus and Minus Edition™ as a tool to help those still in the world of plus and minus dimensioning and tolerancing. Yes, you should use GD&T, especially if you want to clearly explain allowable part variation and clearly understand what the drawing specifications mean. Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis and Tolerancing Manual: Plus and Minus Edition™ is for people who do not use GD&T. Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis and Tolerancing Manual: Plus and Minus Edition™ is essentially a condensed version of Mechanical Tolerance Stackup and Analysis™, with significant reworking to adjust the content for issues related to plus and minus dimensioning and tolerancing. We took our textbook Mechanical Tolerance Stackup and Analysis™ and rewrote the GD&T-based content and converted it into a new text for people who only work with plus and minus dimensioning and tolerancing (limit dimensions and dimensions with +/- tolerances).

So you don't use GD&T but still need to do Tolerance Stackups and analyze your tolerances, this is the book for you.
