- Abstract:
The paper considers the development process for experimental work intended to provide an initial evaluation of the role of tolerance requirement general theory as a factor in the automated assessment of task difficulty as a component of buildability. The nature of general tolerance requirement theory is discussed. This initial research proposes six individual tolerance requirements, each with a different function within the general theory. Analysis of data from the completed experiments may cause this number to be revised as the hypothesis of a link existing between tolerance requirements and time taken to complete a task is tested.
