Total measurement action program in electronics enterprises

The roles of measurement activities in manufacturing enterprises of the assume fragmentary forms of operation such as inspection by measurement after completion, control of accuracy of measuring instruments used for inspection, development of measuring methods or instruments intended for new evaluation, etc., are discussed. The Total Measurement Action Program (TMAP), which was built up for the purpose of systematizing the measurement control and the measuring techniques in manufacturing enterprises so as to pursue and realize the total effects of measurement activities, is implemented in groups of our company and is promoted in the following 5 steps: 1. Instrument control and precision control. 2. Correct method and correct operation. 3. Matching and standardization to measurement purposes. 4. Measurement and instrumentation improvement. 5. Measurement and instrumentation development. This paper is intended to report the promotion method and the results of these activities
