This paper presents an approach for the selection of methods for the proof of capability of measurement processes according to the risk connected to a false decision. High risks demand more reliable and therefore cost-intensive methods, a low risk allowing for cost-efficient methods with lower reliability. This approach, which is incorporated into the upcoming guideline VDI/VDE 2600-1, allows manufacturers to reduce efforts and costs associated with measurement process evaluation according to the risks and consequences of erroneous decisions deriving from measurement results. To be able to decide for the economically optimal measurement process solution, a cost model for the processes described in the VDI/VDE 2600-1 is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
