| Abstract: |
Building a metrology lab can be a technically fulfilling endeavor. However, while defining the specification of a lab is critical i.e. size, location, environment, work flow etc. and picking a supplier(s) to implement the design, at some point you the user are faced with the do diligents of making the plan a reality. There are ultimately dozens of detailed decisions that can only be made by you the end user that are critical to the final product. While building the newest version of the Cummins Central Metrology and Calibration lab we where faced, yet again, with the detailed decisions, the misses in the design, and the resource demands needed to make it all work. My paper will discuss the case study of this latest addition to the Cummins family of labs and the real day to day questions that had to be addressed and design considerations not anticipated at the beginning of the project. I will also discuss how Cummins is developing a set of lab categories that are tied back to measurement accuracy requirements which ultimately translates into lab design recommendations. |
