“…It is essential for ensuring consistency and reliability in measurements, particularly in production environments where repetitive measurements are common (Busch, et al 1996). Reproducibility refers to the ability to obtain consistent results across different measurement systems or operators (Pellizzari, et al, 2017;Begley, and Ioannidis, 2015). It ensures that measurements can be reliably replicated using different equipment or personnel, thus enhancing the credibility and robustness of metrological procedures.…”

Precision metrology plays a pivotal role in modern manufacturing processes by ensuring the attainment of high-quality standards and the optimization of production efficiency. This comprehensive review delves into the significance of precision metrology in enhancing manufacturing quality across diverse industries. The review encompasses an examination of advanced metrological techniques, their applications, challenges, and future prospects. The review begins by elucidating the fundamental principles of precision metrology, emphasizing its critical role in quantifying dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and other crucial parameters in manufacturing. It explores the evolution of metrology from conventional methods to state-of-the-art technologies such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical metrology, and 3D scanning systems. The integration of these techniques into modern manufacturing environments has revolutionized quality control processes, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid feedback mechanisms. Furthermore, the review highlights the multifaceted applications of precision metrology across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices. It elucidates how metrological advancements have facilitated the production of intricate components with tight tolerances, thereby enhancing product performance, reliability, and safety. Additionally, the review examines the role of metrology in ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and certifications, crucial for industries with stringent quality requirements. Despite its numerous benefits, precision metrology also poses challenges, such as measurement uncertainties, calibration complexities, and data interpretation issues. The review discusses these challenges in detail and explores emerging strategies and technologies aimed at mitigating them. Furthermore, it addresses the need for standardized metrological practices and international collaboration to foster interoperability and harmonization in global manufacturing ecosystems. Looking ahead, the review outlines future directions and opportunities in precision metrology, including advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Internet of Things (IoT) integration for predictive maintenance and autonomous quality control systems. It underscores the importance of continued research and innovation in metrology to address evolving manufacturing demands and ensure sustained improvements in product quality and competitiveness. In conclusion, this comprehensive review underscores the indispensable role of precision metrology in enhancing manufacturing quality, driving innovation, and shaping the future of modern industry. Keywords: Precision, Metrology, Manufacturing, Quality, Review.

“…The new monograph by Pellizzari et al (2017), derived from a report of a 2015 workshop, aims to illuminate the semantics problems of the field, falling in agreement with the ACM definitions (group B1). It cites the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as "the most authoritative source" for the adopted lexicon (though NIST has not addressed lexicon for reproducible research, specifically).…”

“…The key, though, is that 'replication' or 'replicability' are not defined terms in any NIST document or in the VIM. Pellizzari et al (2017) claim that "NIST does, however, use the term in specific applications without defining it or distinguishing it from repeatability"-without a citation. They do reference the agreement with Casadevall and Fang (2010), which in turn cite Drummond (2009), as we saw previously.…”

“…Reproducibility is the ability “to duplicate the results of a prior study using the same materials and procedures as were used by the original investigator.” 1,2 When results of a prior study are duplicated using the same procedures as the prior study on new data, the reproducibility of the study is demonstrated 1,2 . Does the current problem with reproducibility risk the good standing of the scientific enterprise? 3 In a survey of 1576 researchers conducted by Nature in 2016, 90% agreed there was a crisis of reproducibility and just over half agreed that the crisis was significant 4 .…”

Rigor and reproducibility training for first year medical students in research pathways

In the Spring of 2020, we launched a rigor and reproducibility curriculum for medical students in research training programs. This required class consisted of eight, 2-h sessions, which transitioned to remote learning in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. The class was graded as pass/fail. Flipped classroom techniques, with multiple hands-on exercises, were developed for first-year medical students (MD/PhD [n = 9], Clinical and Translational Research Pathway (CTRP) students [n = 9]). Four focus groups (n = 13 students) and individual interviews with the two instructors were conducted in May 2020. From individual interviews with instructors and focus groups with medical students, the course and its components were favorably reviewed. Students thought the course was novel, important, relevant, and practical-and teaching strategies were effective (e.g., short lectures, interactive small group exercises, and projects). Most students expressed concerns about lack of time for course preparation. Sharper focus and streamlining of preparation work may be required. Pre-and post-student self-assessments of rigor and reproducibility competencies showed average post-scores ranging from high/moderate to strong understanding (n = 11). We conclude that rigor and reproducibility can be taught to first-year medical students in research pathways programs in a highly interactive and remote format.
