Planning, measuring, and paying attention to details form the basis
for all successful engineering operations. Measurements pervade
everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A
comprehensive all-encompassing guide to measurements, Handbook of
Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses
on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and
technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a
technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements-an
approach that sets it apart from other handbooks. The popular
saying "measure twice and cut once" bears out the importance of
measurements in human endeavors. This handbook covers both
qualitative and quantitative topics of measurement. It opens with a
chapter on the fundamentals of measurement and includes coverage of
human-centric measurements, such as measurement of personnel
productivity and contractor performance. It concludes with three
appendices on measurement, references, conversion factors,
equations, formulas, and statistics for measurement. It is well
understood that humans cannot manage anything that cannot be
measured. All elements involved in our day-to-day decision making
involve some form of measurement, whether in the kitchen, retail,
sports, service operations, geographical exploration, health care
delivery, worker productivity, clothing design, engineering product
design, or space craft launching. Measuring an attribute of a
system and then analyzing it against some standard, some
specification, some best practice, or some benchmark empower a
decision maker to take appropriate and timely actions. This book
gives you a guide for sustainable practices to ensure accurate
measurements, helping you make decisions backed by metrics.
