Abstract	The present paper deals with the manufacturing process of a railway carriage. In the first part of the paper, the authors focus on a “virtual railway factory” that uses a very innovative assembly cycle, if compared to the traditional manufacturing processes in the railway field. The case study refers to a railway carriage consisting of four modules, that are singularly set up of furnishings and other systems in dedicated workplaces. On one hand, the virtual simulation has highlighted several critical aspects to be improved, in order to achieve a greater feasibility and to reduce time and cost. On the other hand, the designers have been able to evaluate the movements of the parts and the assembly sequences of the components, by considering each geometric, functional and technological constraint and also some safety requirements. The second part of the paper deals with the simulation of the assembling operations and the analysis of tolerance chains, which have been performed through a Computer Aided Tolerancing system. In particular, the precision requirements have been also evaluated and we have compared the accumulation of dimensional and geometric deviations when using both rivets and traditional welds to fasten the modules.
