Seven tips for cal accreditation success
Article Abstract:
Seven tips were suggested to guarantee the viability of a calibration system accreditation procedure. A company should realize the value of the accreditation, which should be the most appropriate for the company. A laboratory should document everything including its quality policy, structure and procedures. The company should be ready for the auditing that is required during the accreditation process. It is also important to master and be able to explain the calculations used in processes while making sure of the documentation of the software used in calibrations.

Say goodbye to Joe: replacing the quality craftsman
Article Abstract:
Losing a staff member who has been with the company for more than 30 years is no longer a disadvantage with new developments in the information industry. The accumulated knowledge and experience of designers and operators could now be disseminated via computer software and internal databases that capture them. These knowledge and experience could be converted from tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge with the right questions, which should be integrated into the software. Continuous training programs should be developed and administered to support the software.

Selecting the right stylus: improve the performance of touch-trigger probes
Article Abstract:
Touch-trigger probes could be improved by careful stylus selection specifically by stylus bending. The procedure's success could be ensured by several methods including the maintenance of simple stylus configuration, the use of short styli made of stiff stylus materials, and the use of low probing forces. The thorough calibration of the stylus being used will also ensure minimal errors but it was also suggested that a personal probe-performance test be conducted.
