Abstract

Metrology processes contribute to entire manufacturing systems that can have a considerable impact on financial investment in coordinate measuring systems. However, there is a lack of generic methodologies to quantify their economical value in today’s industry. To solve this problem, a mathematical model is proposed in this paper by statistical deductive reasoning. This is done through defining the relationships between Process Capability Index, measurement uncertainty and tolerance band. The correctness of the mathematical model is proved by a case study. Finally, several comments and suggestions on evaluating and maximizing the benefits of metrology investment are given.
