The
Importance of Measurements—and Measurement Expertise
Accurate measurements and good measurement practices
are starting to get the attention they deserve as QA approaches such as Six-Sigma
are increasingly adopted in process plants. Quality assurance pays--and so
does thoughtful selection and informed application of measurement devices.
Unfortunately, another development is eating away
at the foundation of this progress. continued
