Jul 16-17 Estimating Measurement Uncertainty – Westford, MA

July 16-17, 2013
Mitutoyo Instit. of Metrology
Westford, MA

Managing Measurement Uncertainty is the discipline of optimizing the uncertainty and cost of the measurements we make in the company. Without a systematic approach and the right tools, we are bound to make our measurements too good, too poor or too expensive – and we will not even know it!

Just the facts:

The seminar focuses on the concept of uncertainty, where the uncertainty comes from and how you can control it.
If you are comfortable using a calculator with a square root function, you have the mathematical background needed to get the full benefit of this seminar.
There is no statistical theory, endless crunching of numbers or partial derivatives to worry about.
You will learn how to use the knowledge you already have about your measuring processes to develop uncertainty budgets that can be used as a management tool to help you make informed decisions.
You will learn how to start with a rough uncertainty estimate that can be generated in 5 minutes and refine it only to the extent it makes sense for your purpose.
The seminar is based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) and ISO/TS 14253-2
