Who should understand blueprints in a manufacturing process?

Blueprints and technical drawings use a language of terms and symbols all their own. They contain the many critical details your team needs to produce high quality products that meet required tolerances and specifications…the first time!

The more people on your production team who can read blueprints, the more eyes you have overseeing quality, and the greater your profitability through increased efficiency and minimized waste.  It’s simply not enough to have “your guy” on the floor who’s in charge of interpreting the details in blueprints and overseeing production.
