The 100 km FCC-ee e⁺/e⁻ circular collider requires luminosities in the order of 10³⁵ cm⁻² s⁻¹ and very low emittances of 0.27 nm·prad for the horizontal plane and 1 pm·prad in the vertical. In order to reach these requirements, extreme focusing of the beam is needed in the interaction regions, leading to a vertical beta function of 0.8 mm at the IP. These challenges make the FCC-ee design particularly susceptible to misalignment and field errors. This paper describes the tolerance of the machine to magnet alignment errors and the effectiveness of optics and orbit correction methods that were implemented in order to bring the vertical dispersion to acceptable values, which in turn limits the vertical emittance. Thousands of misalignment and error seeds were introduced in MADX simulations and a comprehensive correction strategy, which includes macros based upon Dispersion Free Steering (DFS), linear coupling correction based on Resonant Driving Terms (RDTs) and response matrices, was implemented. The results are summarized in this paper., Proceedings of the 62th ICFA ABDW on High Luminosity Circular e$^+$e$^-$ Colliders, eeFACT2018, Hong Kong, China
