Article Abstract:

Managers should learn to overcome barriers to confrontation to ensure open communications in organizations.

The next step is to take control of this threat by assessing and understanding all the potential outcomes of confrontation. The NO FEAR confrontation approach can then be applied which stands for now, open, feeling, effect, alignment and request.

Multimeters: the test and measurement workhorses of the workplace

Article Abstract:

Multimeters are widely used in industries to measure electrical parameters. Multimeters are divided into analog volt-ohm-meters (VOM) and digital multimeters. In manufacturing, research and in the field, they are used to test equipment and to ascertain quality control standards. Priced from $50 for units for personal use, multimeters can cost up to several hundred dollars for industrial models. The advantages of analog VOMs and digital multimeters are presented.

Software trends in measurement systems analysis

Article Abstract:

Recent trends in measurement systems analysis show that software being employed for analyzing and maintaining measurement systems can now be data-based, analytically based or both. Data-based programs save calibration records that would be helpful in searching and sorting a collection of criteria. On the other hand, analytical programs gauges the overall accuracy of measurement systems through the use of statistical control charts and user-defined criteria.
