Maintaining calibration control with a control chart
Article Abstract:
The calibration of measuring instruments is a necessary requirement that could ensure quality performance. However, these devices need to be disassembled before they can be properly adjusted. This entails a lot of technicalities. As a result, there is a tendency by suppliers to ignore this requirement. A calibration of measuring instruments is presented using a control chart. A simple x-t chart or moving average chart is used to maintain calibration control.
