HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE A FARM OF MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT?
The Collège Français de Métrologie 1st October 2008 – Room 111 Mezzanine 1 The annual cost of owning a measurement instrument is sometimes assessed at nearly 50% of its purchase price. To the purchase cost is added the cost of managing maintenance and metrological conformity operations, the downtime of the instrument during these operations, the purchase and management of consumables, etc. Conversely, not addressing a measurement need, or addressing it inappropriately, represents a non-quality cost, which should be compared to the actual cost of the acquisition and management of the instrument. The aim of this technical day is to provide rules which can be used to manage farms of measurement instruments and equipment which will all be levers to optimize management and achieve real savings.
